Supply Solutions

As a Guam-based business, we understand the difficulties of supply chain management, particularly in the Western Pacific. Our remote location creates major procurement challenges not normally found in CONUS-based operations. Some of these include:

• Long lead times due to shipping restrictions and schedules
• Higher carrying costs from excess and special inventory items including contingency materials and supplies
• Higher risk of shrinkage and loss
• Coordination with off-island vendors in different time zones
• Limited variety of on-island stock from local vendors

To deal with inventory and supply chain issues, we have well-established business relationships and teaming arrangements with The Home Depot, HD Supply and AOC Furniture. These teaming arrangements have provided us national reach for fast moving parts and bench stocks as well as specialized “hard to find” parts.

HD supply is one of the nation’s largest diversified wholesale distributors of construction and maintenance related materials with an extensive network of manufacturers, fabricators and services. AOC Furniture is a disabled veteran owned distribution company that is CFMS and GSA certified. Through our teaming arrangements, we can support comprehensive solutions to the most challenging of supply needs for Guam and the Asia Pacific Region. This includes:

• The advantages of having an SBA 8(a), HUB Zone and Disabled Veteran certified team backed by the sourcing strength of a $69 billion supply chain
• A single point of contact with enterprise solutions to meet particular project needs
• Access to superior products and value added services at a local level
• Improved control over material selection, availability, price and schedule
• Customized reporting and analysis procurement efficiency
• On-line cataloging, tracking and transparency at all levels

To support our supply chain processes, we have implemented a complete MAXIMO solution providing our management team with real time metrics, tracking and costing; our clients with detailed and customized reporting; and our technicians with the material scheduling they need to be effective and efficient.
