APR offers a number of products and services that can help you with your challenges of lowering total costs through: increases in productivity, reduction in waste, and lowering working capital requirements. These products and services include:

Lower Transaction Costs

"It is estimated by most companies that the average cost of handling an order is between $60.00 and $150.00."

Our experiences show that we can reduce the number of needed vendors by more than 20 for many of our customers. Based on a conservative $60.00 per order cost, and one order per week per vendor, this translates into a savings of between $50,000 and $60,000 per year!

Lower Inventory

One of APR's core competencies is that of inventory control and management of MRO type products. We can assist in reducing your working capital investment, lower your acquisition and re-order costs, and minimize non-value-added activities.

APR Process:

• Review present product utilization and replenishment procedures.
• Review current methods of anticipating needs.
• Suggest improved methods for replenishing products that will facilitate the lowering of inventory carrying costs.
• Propose ways of lowering both the "hard" and "soft" costs of procurement.

Product Alternatives

We carry the widest range of flexo products backed by technical expertise that many times allow us to offer lower cost alternatives without sacrificing quality. We also offer full product surveys in such areas as tapes, doctor blades, hoses and platemaking supplies that can result in a number of cost saving options.
