Simplifying the Supply Chain: Zero Inventory and Distributed Manufacturing
In maritime, there is an opportunity to save operational cost, time and space and reduce your carbon footprint by manufacturing spare parts on-demand. As a professional in this industry, you may have experienced idle time from the moment you need parts to the moment you finally receive them. To avoid this, most organisations tend to have their inventory sufficiently or even over-stocked and this leads to maximising their overall operations costs.
Today, on-demand production robotics such as 3D printing are getting faster, better, and cheaper. This will enable old ideas such as Zero inventory, Just-in-time-manufacturing, and digital twins to take on a new and more practicable life that will help you achieve your operational goals.

Case Study
Made on Demand: Engine Bolt Nut Protector
Ivaldi provides replacement parts on-demand. In maritime, the traditional supply chain is dependent on a centralized physical inventory and a distribution network. This results in a total cost of ownership that is more than double the cost of the original part. Read more about how to identify parts that could save you up to triple-digit savings.

#SuezBlocked and the case for re-imagining supply chains
For the last 108 years, supply chains have been built around assembly lines at centralized mass manufacturing facilities. Whether you are in maritime or manufacturing, centralized production means that your challenge, simply put, is to predict how much stuff you will need, where and when you will need it, and then figure out how to best get it to your destination. But the social and environmental factors can overcomplicate processes.
