Melrose produces excellent quality identification products, at competitive prices, with short lead times.
 
Sometimes we find ways to save our customer's money in unanticipated ways. 

This newsletter summarizes three cases in which Melrose did just that.  
  • Case 1:  Reduced Order Quantities. 
  • Case 2:  Supply Chain Optimization.
  • Case 3:  Vendor Managed Inventory.

Case 2:  Supply Chain Optimization

Melrose earned the graphic overlay business of the Mexican assembly plant of a US telecom company by offering options that improved the customer's cash flow and profitability.  

How Customer Benefited:

  • Reduced costs.
  • 1 to 2 day lead times.

How Melrose Did It:

  • Melrose built ahead on high setup cost subassembly that had low variable cost content. 
  • Melrose applies high cost material and labor when orders are placed.

Melrose welcomes the opportunity to address your product identification needs. 

Our technical skills, and systems enables us to standardize design and produce consistently high quality products.

We also have the sophistication to integrate our order management and supply chain processes with yours.
