Managing inventory can be a tough ask. People usually manage inventory in one of two ways: most parts are kept on site and managed inhouse; or most parts are kept off site and managed by a third party. Each way has its pros and cons.
Keeping parts on site is convenient, but gets expensive and can be a hassle. For example, inventory may be lost, misplaced, damaged, or stolen before it's used on a line. Tell me if this sound familiar: an operator comes to the purchasing department because they just ran out of gizmo A and now they can't run complete units off the line anymore. Purchasing inquires to their supplier about gizmo A, and they find out that it's a 6-week lead time or they can pay triple to have next week. To solve this problem, companies outsource their inventory management.
Working with a third-party sometimes sacrifices the convenience of keeping everything on site in exchange for having a reliable and consistent supply of parts. Now instead of calling a supplier and choosing between fast and expensive or slow and normal price, you call your inventory manager and get the part you need.
Inventory Management. JWB Components' inventory management service offloads the burden of manufacturers managing their own inventory. JWB Components keeps inventory of the parts their customers need, regardless of lead time, minimum order quantity, or difficulty sourcing. Our customers avoid the pain of having to keep track of lead times, dealing with multiple vendors and suppliers. This decrease things like offline incompletes and overall cost.
Kitting. Kitting reduces the time and complexity of getting a number of different parts from storage, assembled into the desired configuration, and then brought to the manufacturing line by combining all those parts into a kit before hand. This way, the operator just needs to grab the kit and and use it on the line. JWB Components assembled kits saves its customers time and money.

JWB Components got its start in XXXX when a customers of Bert's sales representative business needed support for their inventory. It had become onerous, expensive, and time consuming for them to manage the amount of inventory on hand and dealing with all the different suppliers and vendors to get the things they need. Bert saw an opportunity, and with his wife Judy, JWB Components was born. Since then, JWB has helped many different manufacturers customers meet their inventory needs.
