An Unused Opportunity

Last week we discussed quantity variance on orders. One of the by-products of a tough Quality program is that which we call Overrun. When we plan a production run for a twenty heater order, for example, we will anticipate a maximum probable loss and begin with a larger quantity to insure we can ship the order complete. If the production run goes well (as they almost always do), we will have an overrun of one, two or five heaters.

These cartridge heaters are held as inventory in their base form: with pins extending from the heater for termination. In this condition any length and temperature rated leads can be installed, along with any Watt-Flex® heater accessory. This allows for great flexibility in a very short production time.

At present, there are over 5,000 cartridge heaters in inventory, both overrun and OEM heaters. They are generally supplied with next-day delivery, with no set-up charges and in whatever quantity requested (no minimums). Eventually, we see this inventory on our website with exclusive access by distributors, but for now, it simply takes a phone call to check to see if it is in stock. This is a tremendously under-used asset that can serve to get Watt-Flex heaters in a customer's hand quickly and conveniently.
