“Alliance” Service
For more than 15 years, LB MetallService AG has been providing the steel and metal processing industry with 100% digital processing via direct a 1:1 EDI data link, paperless outsourcing solutions at various levels and depths in the supply chain. This identifies and covers potential areas for optimisation and results in the “Alliance” Service.
Reduced turnaround times by doing away with manual management processes (purchasing, accounting), leading to savings through fully digitised order processing from placing the order to payment. By reducing the operational purchasing activity, the purchasing team can focus fully on the strategic purchasing tasks.
Reduction of in-house storage and processing activities (sawing, drilling etc) with variable utilization that often creates shortages in personnel and machines. Also in-house raw material storage, leftover piece storage and the unproductive surface areas for handling materials are reduced. Thanks to the concept of the extended workbench, processing steps with deeper added value within a production company can be outsourced to LB MetallService, thereby saving costs and money. Your advantages are:
1. With LB MetallService – Alliance you’ll become more flexible
By outsourcing your stock of rods, you can convert an unproductive and expensive storage area into a higher value-adding production area. You will eliminate the administrative efforts involved with stocktaking and remove the value of the stock from your books. You only order the products that you actually need in production and will not be left with any extra pieces.
2. With LB MetallService – Alliance you’ll be able to schedule with certainty
Thanks to the cooperation between LB MetallService and your strategic purchasing department, your material requirements will be based on rolling production planning, and kept in stock in the right quantities. Orders will be delivered JIT to the machines according to your needs.
3. With LB MetallService – Alliance you’ll improve your quality
Uncut products are processed using a modern machine park; additional services integrated in the automatic process such as quality inspections, stamping, labelling and certificate management, guarantee their traceability and identification. The automated transmission of data from your order, via our ERP system for handover to our fully automated high-bay warehouse, right up to direct transmission to our CNC sawing centres is fully automatic thereby eliminating any additional sources of error and ends with automatic EDI invoicing and payments.
4. With LB MetallService – Alliance you’ll generate an increase in efficiency
We provide the desired services with highly optimised processes and a modern infrastructure. This reduces lead times, administrative processes and avoids errors.
Thanks to the fully digitised order processing system, you will make savings from the order to the invoice. Reduction of operating areas with low productivity, no storage of raw material on site, no storage of leftover pieces, and no additional space required for material handling or processing.
You can use your expensive premises for tasks that bring much higher added value. You’ll gain price advantages in your purchasing by bundling your total volume, annual quantities and purchasing directly from the plant. (Product set prices = price of the material – processing price – logistics costs); rationalisation of operational purchasing and digitisation of manual administrative activities.
