Right out of the box it outperforms expectations to deliver maximum ROI.
Automatic Spring Products has added Wilson Tool com- ponents directly into the company’s standards. Should a com- ponent be outsourced, it must be sourced directly or be Wilson Tool-compatible. Quick turnaround on replacements is another relationship plus, notes Nichols. Combining that with the fre- quent visits to assess inventory paints a picture of ideal cus- tomer service. Other customer-service plusses noted by Auto- matic Spring Products include networking with local coaters to further reduce lead time on tool-coating work, and providing expertise on engineering challenges.
“With our Wilson Tool representatives we’ve discussed issues encountered when running problematic materials, and we’ve received very helpful suggestions,” says Beamer.
Facing high volumes and extremely tight deadlines, Auto- matic Spring Products appreciates the helpful hands of long- time partners such as Wilson Tool in staying on top among its competition. Premium-freight charges paid to shippers to expedite delivery in efforts to meet customer deadlines, and also an on-time-shipment measurable—often can enter the discussion in such environments, and these charges can be avoided if all partners are on the same page.
“We can’t afford downtime or sacrificed quality,” says Nichols. “Our customers, internal and external, demand on- time delivery and parts made to their specifications. We must get our quality product where it needs to go as quickly as possible.” MF
