Call-Off
A call-off operation at SFC (Europe) allows customers to place bulk orders for fasteners, which are then manufactured, stocked, and released in scheduled quantities as required over an agreed period. This approach provides several key benefits, including improved cost efficiency through volume pricing, reduced lead times, and enhanced supply chain stability.
By securing production in advance while aligning deliveries with actual demand, customers can optimise inventory levels, avoid overstocking, and ensure timely availability of critical components. Our call-off arrangements are tailored to each customer’s operational needs, offering flexibility and assurance in even the most time-sensitive or high-volume environments.
Kan-Ban
A Kan-Ban operation at SFC (Europe) is a lean inventory management system designed to ensure a continuous and efficient supply of fasteners based on real-time usage. Operating through visual or digital triggers, Kan-Ban enables automatic replenishment of stock when predefined minimum levels are reached, helping to prevent shortages and overstocking.
This system is particularly beneficial for customers with steady or repeat usage, as it streamlines supply chain processes, reduces manual ordering, and minimises inventory holding costs. By aligning supply with actual consumption, SFC (Europe)’s Kan-Ban solutions support just-in-time manufacturing, improve workflow efficiency, and enhance overall production reliability.
