Material Management

GFC provides customers with the lowest total cost by expertly managing: purchase price, quality, delivery, logistics, and inventory. The GFC process continues over the product life cycle with value analysis and value engineering to ensure continuous improvement in the product and the cost.

Sourcing Strategy

We match customer needs for Quality, Service and Price with over 1600 suppliers worldwide. Our strategic relationships provide GFC with a unique advantage when sourcing in Low Cost Countries.

Program Management

GFC personnel will configure a unique supply system that works with your operations. Ours is an integrated approach that moves product from our warehouse to your dock, your storeroom, or your line, relieving a major, costly burden from your shoulders.

Inventory Management

We utilize our state of the art ERP system along with a dedicated materials planner who considers your historical usage, forecasted demand, supplier lead times, minimum order quantity, and part complexity to ensure your product is always available.

Logistics Support

GFC’s professional logistics planning provides cost-effective solutions. To achieve efficiencies we consider all the options: delivery frequency; delivery to dock, in-plant crib, or to the point of use; expendable or returnable containers; bulk or measured quantities; and where suitable, sequenced pallets. Electronic data interchange, and bar coded labels ensure error free control.
