9 Cost-Effective Benefits of Local Materials Management

A Transport Truck and Boat Showing Supply Chain For Local Material Management - MSCP Heat Management Solutions

Experienced oil and gas plant managers know that regular maintenance checks are crucial to keeping their facilities operating while continuing to generate and protect revenue. A significant part of keeping their heat trace and insulation systems functioning is material management which is the replacing of old, worn-out, or broken parts before they trigger critical issues or plant downtime. 

One of the classic challenges of parts procurement is knowing what to order and getting it to your facility on time. With offshore suppliers, the packing and delivery time can take weeks, putting your projects on hold or creating costly system downtime. 

MSCP’s Material Management & Warehousing solution solves this issue by providing domestic itemizing and storage of buffer heat trace and insulation materials. This unique service ensures that your replacement Heat Management System (HMS) parts can be accessed and shipped when you need them, keeping your projects on schedule and minimizing delays in production. 

Our Eastern Canada shop in Listowel, Ontario, launched in 2020, offering the same custom manufacturing, warehousing, and shipping services as our Western Canada location. This wide coverage ensures that no matter where your job site is located, MSCP can deliver what you need on time. 

Here are some of the main benefits that come with taking advantage of our Material Management & Warehousing solution:

 

Just-In-Time Material Management

MSCP parts and components specialists work around your schedule. Your inventory will arrive at a time perfectly aligned with your project’s timetable to prevent parts from taking up valuable floor space or becoming lost or damaged while being stored. With MSCP, our focus is on enhancing your facility’s operational efficiencies, not creating additional worries.

 

Ordering With Added Confidence And Increased Material Management

When we install, commission, and service heat trace and insulation systems, we record which parts and components your system uses. This means our specialists can take ownership of which components your system will need for future maintenance and make recommendations on inventory levels to keep. Our Material Management & Warehousing solution ensures you’ll only get components your system needs to keep running efficiently and reliably.

 

Only Pay For What You Need When You Need It

Like any business, oil and gas facility managers always look for ways to reduce costs. When it comes to replacement parts, purchasing an excessive amount due to minimum order or shipping requirements can negatively impact your bottom line. MSCP has no minimum order requirements, so you’ll always only get what you need when you need it, eliminating the need to store parts you don’t require at the time.

 

More Reliable Supply Chains

If events over the last two years have taught us anything, it’s how fragile the global supply chain truly is. We might be moving into a post-pandemic world, but companies still struggle with material management from overseas suppliers. We can quickly get you the parts you need from our two Canadian shops, no matter what’s happening in the outside world.

 

Faster Communications

Calling or emailing offshore suppliers can result in delayed responses and order fulfillment. MSCP locations will be close to your North American time zone, meaning shorter reaction time and faster shipping to keep your projects moving forward and on time.

 

Lower Shipping Costs on Material Management

Ordering your heat trace and insulation materials from MSCP’s domestic warehouses means lower shipping fees than any offshore supplier can offer. During times of economic uncertainty, reducing costs wherever you can is crucial to protecting your facility’s profitability. Our affordable shipping rates can help your company save money.

 

Decreased Risk Of Delays

MSCP understands that delays cost money. When you need a part in a critical situation such as plant downtime, MSCP can quickly get you the parts and equipment that will get your facility fully operational again. We’re always just a phone call away with sound advice and quality components whenever you need it.
