One of the most challenging issues to overcome in supply solutions relationships is to satisfy Customer's requirements for professional technical support. Wicksie has invested heavily in the critical area of Technical Support by ensuring its specialists are continually trained in the latest developments in manufacturing and product.
Wicksie Integrated Solutions also has logistics, business process and IT specialists working in every area of the supply chain, ensuring that the optimum solution is, and continues to be, in place. We are fully committed to building open, collaborative relationships with suppliers and have forged strong links with alliance partners who provide structured technical support within all projects specifically aimed at adding value to the BPOP. Customer Satisfaction in Technical Support is heavily dependent on the outsource providers' ability to:
- Specify Products for Particular Applications
- Introduce New Products
- Repair Products and Perform Warranty Work
- Train End Users
- Answer Technical Questions
- Troubleshoot
- Redefine Processes
- Improve Logistics
Technical Support is the primary influence in productivity improvements, material usage and application savings. Productivity savings may occur when a new product, process or procedure is introduced that results in lower operating costs, faster production, and/or higher quality output. Generating productivity savings is particularly critical in Wicksie Integrated Solutions' relationships with its Customers, where the central goal of the programme is to reduce total costs and provide yield improvements.
