Here's why you need a tailored supply chain

November 21, 2023
​By Blue Print Editorial Team

When it comes to clothes, everyone wishes they had a personal tailor. Someone they could trust to make their clothes fit better. To make them feel better. ​Well, there’s no reason tailoring needs to stop at clothes.

That same custom-fit approach works with many parts of supply chains.​ Here's why.
​
​

Better QUALITY

Picture
Engineering can improve everything. What is your product quality like currently? It could be better with the help of fastener engineers.


Better FIT

Picture
Using PPE that’s designed for the different body shapes on your team doesn’t just make sense, it saves cents. And lives.
​

Better PARTNERS

Picture
A true best-in-class operation extends beyond its own team. Fastenal's president and CEO Dan Florness breaks it down for us.
​

Better TOTAL COST

Picture
Why does the NHL trust Fastenal as a supply chain partner? Because there’s less time and effort spent. And saving time and effort equals cost savings.
​

Better VALUE

Picture
Tailoring can have both immediate and long-term payoffs. A quick result may be lower spending in some areas. But taking the long view allows you to save money on a different scale.
