How much revenue are you sacrificing when you do not have your equipment? How much is lost from not being able to turn equipment around for your customers? Do you end up losing a customer or job because you do not have the equipment for weeks or a month? What is the value of that lost income?
Lead time issues lead to more lost time and more cost to you. Morehouse is not the least expensive calibration solutions provider, though the overall cost can be dramatically less when all things are considered.
Lead time has many implications. The cost of not having your equipment for weeks, maybe months can be large. These include downtime, communication breakdowns, scheduling delays, and lost revenue.
The problems with downtime include:
The inability to use your equipment means work gets bottlenecked
Overtime may be required to catch up when the equipment comes back from calibration
Communication delays
What is the impact to continually check on the status of an item out for calibration? There’s an economic cost and delays can also lead to employee frustration.
Scheduling delays
How much does it cost to shift your calibration work to your customers schedules?
Less revenue
No equipment equals delayed or lost revenue.
What happens when you invest in getting your calibration equipment returned quickly? Your company can benefit when a calibration lab can do the following quickly:
Provide a quotation
Receive your items
Contact you with any issues
Calibrate your equipment
Pack and return your calibration equipment
Morehouse takes great pride in our ability to provide a quotation quickly. We respond to requests in hours, not days. When we receive your items, your equipment is unpacked, inspected, and staged for climatization. If we have to contact you with any issues we want to do it quickly.
The contract is reviewed against your calibration requirements. The review is done in a timely manner to mitigate lead time delays. Items are then put on the schedule for calibration to ensure our 7 – 10 day guarantee or we reach out to you with any potential concerns.
Calibration of your equipment
The technician works through the daily schedule on one of our many force or torque calibration machines. Morehouse has more than five deadweight machines known to within 0.002 % of applied force that is twenty to fifty times more accurate than most other calibration labs.
Once calibration is complete, we are ready to pack and return your equipment. Within 7 – 10 days of receipt, items are returned. Expedited options are available for even faster turnaround.
You have only so much time. It should not be spent waiting on equipment. Morehouse can lower your overall calibration cost, lower your measurement uncertainty, and lower your calibration headaches, resulting in less overall cost to you.
