Complications locating correct cable reels in the field. Availability of labor and equipment to transport large reels. Minimum manufacturer order quantities. Lead time on non-stock items. Difficult item to track inventory changes.
Our wire and cable management services minimize cable surplus and extra expenses while increasing field productivity and safety. Cable is purchased in advance of actual needs and invoiced to the project after material is released to the field. Cables are managed to specific circuit length to be cut and delivered to the job site on dedicated reels.
Cable is the single most likely item to become a liability to the project through waste, damage, or surplus. CMMS has a specially designed module called Cable Management. It is a tool for calculating Cable Cuts and maintains Cable Reels. The system calculates the minimum drawing quantity of a product and compares it to the cut quantity desired to determine the most efficient reel to cut from to utilize stock and therefore minimize waste and extra expenses.
Cable represents 33% or more of the typical Bulk Electrical Spend on Capital Projects.
Delays are often caused by common cable issues; locating correct cable reel in the field, availability of labor and equipment, lead time, and minimum manufacturer order quantities.
