Anixters Supply Chain Solutions in Action: Installation-Related Material Kits

Challenge

A large OEM customer needed to source, kit and stage installation-related materials required for ship refurbishment. Facing tight project times, multiple suppliers and
a diverse bill of materials, the OEM needed a partner to take on material and supplier management and to allow the customer to take costs out of its existing business model.

Anixter Solution READY!SM Kit

Anixter created five types of READY! Kit part numbers, which included a variety of cable assemblies, terminal blocks, fuses and marker cards. Anixters READY! Kit offering
helped to source, ship and stage all of the materials and finished-good part numbers according to schedule. This enabled the customer to meet its deadlines while leveraging
Anixters material-management core competency.
