Example
Saintronic optimizes its customer's partnership by working on several kit combination.
Components are different from one customer to another because there are several possible product combinations depending on the customer's requirements.
Indeed, for one of them, Saintronic manufactures boxes of different sizes which are conditioned in kits (structure, carries...)with options such as cables.Components of different sizes or different unitary code represent the other materials sold by SaintrOnic in the form of kits.
Logistics is a very determinant function in the “kitting” activity. Chronograms at day or per hour are set up in order to enable the presence of the kits as soon as sites open. These chronograms are also used on export markets where our storage capacities and our supply chain enable our customers to obtain a global service.
So, the “kitting” activity is a very significant part of SaintrOnic’s turnover and it represents between M€ 15 and M€ 20.
Today, this revolutionary method turns out to be both economical and qualitative.
