THE OEM’S GUIDE TO REDUCING
SUPPLY CHAIN RISK

OPTIMAS HELPS OEMS BUILD MORE RESILIENT AND CONTROLLED
FASTENER SOURCING STRATEGIES

Total Landed Cost (TLC) is a vital metric for OEMs and Tiers to prevent margin erosion and uncover hidden costs of parts acquisition. This guide helps procurement and supply chain professionals identify and assess risk and build a more resilient fastener supply chain.

Sourcing Risk You Can Actually Measure

Sourcing strategies, tariffs, geopolitical events, demand forecasts, and other factors have introduced more risk into fastener supply chains than most models capture. Procurement sees one part of it, engineering another, operations a third. This guide brings all
three views together.

A Structured Route to a More Resilient Supply Chain

Moving to regional or hybrid sourcing is a planning exercise, not a leap. Our guide breaks the work into stages so you can protect production continuity throughout and build a lasting partnership with your fastener supplier. Inside, you will learn how to:

  • Identify sourcing risk exposure in your current
    fastener supply
  • Evaluate the risk factors that influence TLC
  • Build a resilient sourcing strategy around your
    critical parts
  • Reduce the risk of production disruption
  • Improve supply continuity across critical components

 

The guide also includes a supply chain self-assessment you can use to gauge your current exposure in minutes.
