GUY KITS SUPPLY CHAIN EFFICIENCY From Procurement to Installation MacLean Power Systems
GUY KITS • All Materials Necessary to Install Down Guy to Anchor • Line hardware for pole attachment • Top and bottom guy deadends • Guy strand • Guy insulator • Bonding material (if needed)
OBJECTIVE • Use MPS to Kit All Materials to Install Down Guy • Cost savings • Efficiency improvement • Better utilization of assets and resources
BENEFITS TO UTILITY • Only One Item to Order • Improve Crew Efficiency • No need to measure strand • No need to gather materials at job site • Partial assembly completed • No need to return material to stock • Less Waste • Pre-measured strand – less thrown away • No loose parts to manage from storeroom to site and back to storeroom
BENEFITS TO UTILITY • Improved Warehouse Efficiency • No need to break down strand from large reels • No need to gather multiple materials • No re-stock required after job completion • No labor to receive and return large guy strand reels • Less Chance of Error • Fewer keystrokes to relieve or restock materials • Crews install what Engineering specified
BENEFITS TO UTILITY • Lower Inventory • Allows for local distributor stocking • Less warehouse space needed • Buy by the unit rather than bulk • Improved Safety • No need to manipulate guy wire from large reels • Conveniently packaged for ease of transportation to site • Less guy strand cuts • Faster Installation • Major benefit during storm restoration
SUMMARY • MPS Adds Value to Utility Supply Chain • One stop shopping • Lower supply chain cost • Improved asset management • Quicker line construction
