    inventory management can feel like a set of  competing priorities you want less inventory

  • 00:00:12
    visibility at fastenal we don't see these as  trade-offs all are aspects of a well-managed
  • 00:00:17
    supply chain our job is to help you get there and  here's the roadmap a strategy centered on three
  • 00:00:23
    concepts service devices and data it starts with  our investment in a local team and local inventory
  • 00:00:30
    for your business leverage our service to drive  productivity and rely on our local supply chain
  • 00:00:35
    to optimize inventory with confidence knowing  buffer stock is a local or in-house delivery away
  • 00:00:41
    backed by our world-class distribution in sourcing  infrastructure this is the foundation for fastenal
  • 00:00:46
    managed inventory the framework is the technology  we use to provide the right balance of visibility
  • 00:00:51
    and control for every part we manage let's look  at the three main concepts starting with faststock
  • 00:00:58
    in 2020 we rolled out mobility devices to  our local teams with a suite of business
  • 00:01:02
    applications to take our service to a new level  it includes a planogram builder app to assign
  • 00:01:07
    locations to products throughout your facilities  making our service faster and more accurate
  • 00:01:12
    while capturing data around each part what it is  where it's located and when it's being serviced
  • 00:01:18
    with mobility we can bring this level  of visibility to any product you use
  • 00:01:22
    whether it's in a bin on a shelf in a drawer a  cabinet or a first aid kit that said we still
  • 00:01:30
    need to physically see the product in order to  know the inventory state our fastbin technology
  • 00:01:35
    eliminates that need by allowing us to monitor  your bin stock inventory remotely and continuously
  • 00:01:42
    the fastbin rfid solution is a new twist on a  classic two or three bin kanban each bin has
  • 00:01:47
    a unique rfid tag on the back when the bin is  emptied it's placed on the top shelf where an
  • 00:01:52
    rfid controller senses the tag signals a change in  inventory state and puts our service into motion
  • 00:01:59
    our fastbin ir solution brings this piece of mind  to the point of use a series of infrared beams
  • 00:02:04
    within the bin detect the current level based  on how many beams are blocked by the product
  • 00:02:09
    when the level falls below that service trigger  point you can count on seeing a blue shirt shortly
  • 00:02:14
    24 7 monitoring provides a win-win for your  business less risk and less inventory what if
  • 00:02:21
    you're looking to control and track the product  that's where our fastband devices come into play
  • 00:02:26
    actually it starts up here with your cloud  dashboard this is where you control who has access
  • 00:02:31
    to what and in what amounts it's also where you  establish what allocation data you want to capture
  • 00:02:37
    so that back down on the shop floor  when an employee vends an item
  • 00:02:40
    the transaction is wrapped in relevant data who  used the product their department a cost center
  • 00:02:46
    even a gl code or job number providing  deep visibility into every product used
  • 00:02:51
    this core technology powers a diverse lineup  of fast fen devices coil machines providing
  • 00:02:57
    per item control one swipe equals one unit  dispensed modular cabinets drawers and lockers
  • 00:03:03
    providing grab-and-go access to everything from  cans and boxes to bulk items and loose parts
  • 00:03:08
    and multi-function lockers you can use in  three different ways to vend bulk consumables
  • 00:03:14
    to track assets in automate asset management  including scheduled maintenance and warranty
  • 00:03:19
    programs something we can manage full circle  through a fastenal industrial services program
  • 00:03:24
    and to pick up e-commerce orders select locker  pickup during checkout on fastnell.com receive
  • 00:03:30
    a unique access code once we make the delivery  and receive an electronic proof of delivery once
  • 00:03:35
    the product has been removed the machines are  impressive but even more important is what's
  • 00:03:39
    behind them layers of experts infrastructure and  resources working to make your program a success
  • 00:03:46
    we refer to this as our team behind the machine  and it's the difference between a mere contraption
  • 00:03:51
    and a total supply chain solution that brings  us to the third concept on our roadmap data
  • 00:03:57

    the product is serviced if it's serviced with  a mobility device through a fast stock program

    you'll see them in max quantities if it's  stored in a fast bin device you'll also see
