Why Yield Matters
By supporting a small army of micro suppliers we ensure our incoming material stream is from the environment not landfills. Our Quality COntrol system includes 3 checkpoint, 1. On delivery to our collection centre, 2. At our secondary sorting section and 3. At the conveyor. By paying attention to detail and educating our entire supply chain we guarantee a 95% target material yield to our customers.
Try our yield calculator to find the equivalency between the current price of and yield of your current material yield and ours. If we are more effective consider placing a trial order with us.
Why yield produces better outcomes over cost
When manufacturers buy solely on cost instead of quality, they may face several negative consequences that could affect their business in the long run. Here are some examples:
Lower quality products: The most obvious consequence of buying solely on cost is that the quality of the products may be compromised. In order to offer a lower price, the manufacturer may use cheaper materials or lower production standards, which can result in lower quality products. This can lead to customer complaints, returns, and a damaged reputation.
Higher defect rates: When the manufacturer buys solely on cost, they may choose suppliers that offer the cheapest materials or components, even if they are of lower quality. This can lead to a higher defect rate in the finished product, which can increase costs for the manufacturer due to rework, repairs, and returns.
Increased production downtime: If the materials or components used in production are of lower quality, they may be more prone to failure or damage. This can result in increased production downtime, which can lead to missed deadlines, delayed shipments, and lost revenue.
Reduced customer satisfaction: When the manufacturer prioritizes cost over quality, the customer may not be satisfied with the final product. This can result in negative reviews, a damaged reputation, and decreased customer loyalty.
Increased costs in the long run: Although buying solely on cost may seem like a way to save money in the short term, it can actually lead to increased costs in the long run. For example, if the manufacturer needs to replace defective products or deal with customer complaints, this can result in additional costs that could have been avoided if they had prioritized quality over cost.
Overall, buying solely on cost instead of quality can have serious negative consequences for a manufacturer’s business, including lower product quality, higher defect rates, increased production downtime, reduced customer satisfaction, and increased costs in the long run.
