From the moment the steel is taken off the truck, it is received into the Materials Requirements Planning (MRP) system. All of its specifications; material type, poundage, heat number, country of origin, and mill source are known, recorded, and traceable in the system to ensure the quality of your nuts and bolts.
Our 100% steel traceability standard designates all material with a precise internal tracking heat number for our own purposes. The steel is color-coded based on this internal tracking and specification and can be easily identified in the yard. Its unique heat number, traceable all the way back to the mill it came from, is how the material is issued to each job.
This advanced MRP system is fully customizable to meet the customers’ requirements or specifications. For example, if there is a particular inspection or hold point required by you, our valued customer, we have the ability to make it happen seamlessly. We can tell you exactly when the inspection or hold happened and precisely the employee who carried it out.
