Solidstate
Controls, Inc. (SCI) Managed Inventory Agreement (MIA) is a comprehensive
plan to inventory parts at the local level. This inventory provides
your site with the necessary spare parts to make emergency system
repairs. The UPS system you purchased was selected for one or two
key reasons--line regulation and/or a reliable power source for the
load. Knowing that unexpected downtime of your DCS system, computer,
instrumentation, or other critical loads can be expensive or hazardous,
SCI has developed our systems with strong emphasis on reliability.
We realize however, that a failure can occur. As a result, SCI developed
its MIA to include key items selected specifically for your system.
We recommend that these items be available at a location convenient
to the job site. Should any malfunction occur, a quick phone call
to our Client Services Department desk is all you need to rapidly
diagnose and repair the system--within hours if the repair parts are
available close to your location.
SERVICE FEATURES
- With an MIA agreement, shelf-life issues with spare parts are
a thing of the past.
- SCI will maintain an agreed-upon inventory level at a location
convenient to the site.
- A low service charge based on the inventory's value will be
assessed monthly and invoiced quarterly to the buyer for this
service. (Not required if included with CSA)
- Parts are not purchased by the buyer unless and until he needs
them.
- Upon notification, SCI's Client Services Department will replenish
part(s) used in making a repair within five (5) business days
of the repair.
Our MIAs are customized to individual products and/or clients'
needs. The unique features of our products limit our ability to
stock all recommended spare parts at the factory; therefore, we'll
identify in our proposal the components that should be considered
for stocking at the local level.
SCI products are designed to allow easy replacement of components
by trained personnel. In fact, local availability of parts will
enable repair so efficiently that the plan cost may be offset by
the downtime saved! Your SCI system may have customized features
requiring specialty parts, some possibly unique only to your system
and unfortunately, beyond SCI's capability to maintain as a standard
inventoried item. Consequently, we urge you to consider having these
parts available in the MIA to avoid long delays in procurement.
