The Bottom Line...
REDUCING YOUR OPERATING COSTS
Economic times virtually dictate that managers, directors of engineering, and facilities management personnel seek to find ways to reduce their operating costs without sacrificing quality service. Vendor costs are continually increasing. Department heads simply ignore the task to investigate other options and vendors because they follow the principle "if it isn't broke, then don't fix it". This principle costs you money and increases your operating costs.
If options are available to reduce these costs without sacrificing quality and service, then the department heads need to compare quotations for the benefit of the facility. Even though you may be satisfied with a particular vendor, a direct comparison with other vendors may in fact reduce your costs without sacrificing the quality results you demand. This is true not only in maintenance but in every department. However it needs to be a direct comparison of items such as the water treatment chemicals and service and not the feed equipment. Fancy feed systems do not produce the results. It is the formulation of the chemicals, the strength of each chemical, the service, and the experience of the representative. The representative is the company as you see it therefore you are buying the reps experience.
When department heads fail to allow other vendors to submit quotations for their service, this compromises the integrity of the basic purchasing principle to get the most bang for the buck rather than low bids or satisfaction with a particular vendor.
I.W.F. Consulting Services, LLC. requests the opportunity to submit our quotation for the water treatment chemicals and service. We request that our quotation be honestly reviewed and compared to what you are presently receiving, by both the Director of Purchasing and the Director of Engineering/Facility Maintenance Mgr. All we ask is a fair comparison of our program to your present program in chemical quality and cost.
Our intent is not to force anyone to do something they are not comfortable with but fairly evaluate our program and costs and to do what is best for your facility. If the directors of engineering fail to do what is best for the facility in every endeavor, then they are failing to preform a critical portion of their job duties to continually seek and find ways to reduce operating costs.
Their annual presentation to the board of directors/owners usually requires to show proof of how each department reduced costs and showed a savings. The water treatment program is one of those ways that has been ignored but can show a substantial savings.
We at I.W.F. Consulting Services, LLC have the experience, the equipment, the chemicals and the service that can more than compete with your present supplier. Won't you give us the opportunity to show you the savings that can be available to you?
