Supplier management by teams.
Watlow Electric Manufacturing, Hannibal, Missouri, uses a fully integrated MRP system with three-way match accounting. We have approximately 8,000 purchased parts and purchase in excess of $5 million of raw material annually. The vast majority of parts are custom to the heating element industry; the balance of the parts are customer specific. Production is similar to a glorified job-shop, more specialized than standard products.
