5 CORE VALUES

Supply. One voice and Intelligent JIT

Typically there are too many tedious tasks, due to handling multiple vendors for each automotive part and components.

The work is rather repetitive and energy consuming regardless of their size or importance.

New World with Nifast One Voice and Intelligent JIT

Nifast can alleviate all of your repetitive tasks and manage your inventory allowing you to focus on your larger priorities.

Nifast’s expertise is in dealing with troublesome parts such as fastening components.

Quality. Complete Ownership

Conventional Situation Distributed Responsibility

Quality management responsibility is spread among many different processes in the supply chain.

This system may cause lack of actual focus on vendor quality and product quality which will cause operational problems.

New World with Nifast Complete Ownership

Nifast takes the responsibility in ensuring the whole process based on high standards of quality management. Here are examples of our quality commitment.

  • All suppliers are fully vetted and approved in accordance with out robust vendor approval process.
  • Our system is set up to prevent shipment of unapproved / nonconforming product to our customers.
  • In the event a nonconformance is identified, Nifast has the capability of tracing the part back to the raw material source.

IT Platform. Global Optimized System

Managing communication requirements (lead time, parts, distance, language) with a myriad of vendors can be troublesome.

With growth comes increased complexity. As vendors in the supply chain increase so do the components and interactions that require management.

New World with Nifast Global Optimized System

Streamlining communication through Nifast allows for seamless trouble free management of production in the same quality, wherever you are.

Our system focuses on “optimizing delivery timing”, “calculating future volume” and “adjusting for lead time of all parts”.
