1 Supply Chain Consulting & Implementation Vendor Consolidation Inventory Reductions JIT Replenishment For Industrial Components, Supplies, and Packaging

2 ipower New England Our Value Proposition ipower Distribution Group of New England has over 20 years of continuous success assisting OEM s of all types and sizes managing the supply chain necessary to their critical assembly and sub-assembly requirements through implementation of Vendor Managed Inventory [VMI], Kanban, and In-Plant Buyer-Planner services. Unlike most consultants and inventory management providers, ipower New England, through its unique combination of supporting members represents a nearly $ 1 billion industrial distribution and system design solution for OEM s competing on a worldwide basis. Through its unique ipower-vmi, ipower-kanban, and ipower-buyer programs, ipower New England presents an unmatched opportunity to provide rapid, significant and permanent inventory reduction, vendor consolidation, volume pricing, reliable, proven delivery systems, and immediate access to a $150 million component and supplies inventory. The ipower-vmi solution currently successfully manages 25,000 bins at point of use, delivering over 15 million components into mission critical OEM assemblies and sub-assemblies. If components or assemblies are too expensive to handle through traditional VMI programs, ipower- Kanban is configured to meet contractual, planning and delivery needs in the OEM environment When VMI or Kanban are not appropriate, the ipower-buyer strategy places professional buyerplanners to work onsite to plan and purchase items through Oracle, SAP and other planning systems. ipower New England specializes in providing Lean Replenishment, Point of Use solutions, and Visual Inventory Controls for today s OEM s.

3 Why ipower? Each OEM that ipower has assisted over the past 20 years has identified the same painful realities most manufacturers face on a daily basis. When an assembly line slows or stops due to a mismanaged supply chain, the costs can be tremendous. But, for each OEM seeking relief, there are frequently the same characteristics to the pain: Too many vendors If the range and scope of the production process is absorbed 80 percent of the time on the bits and pieces that are only 20 percent of the cost of goods, that should be reason enough to seek a better way. Cut that vendor list down from thousands or hundreds to a handful or even one and you are well on the way to relief. ipower does that every day. Too many invoice errors If the accounts payable department is spending too much time trying to figure out who to pay, how much to pay, and when to pay it; the costs can be tremendous. Why shouldn t we know how much we are buying, from whom and at what appropriate discount before we get the assembly line going? ipower does that every day. Too much expediting If the primary and secondary components required for assembly are not where they are supposed to be, when they are supposed to be there, all the expediting in the world is not a desirable solution. It s already too late. If it needs to be expedited that s a sure flag that the supply chain has a broken link. The personnel involved range from the production floor, to engineering, to shipping, accounting and beyond. Everyone ends up with a hand in the process and the end result is still unsatisfactory. ipower avoids that every day. Stock-outs can mean that an assembler reaches for the critical component, which isn t there, causing production slow-down or stoppage; ipower can respond to that challenge. Tools and components within easy reach means the work team can meet production quality and timeliness standards assuring management control of the factory floor. Optimizing space through a reduction of inventory, supported by an increase from an average four turns up to 12 to 15 turns, means increased efficiency, increased productivity and improved profit.
