Since we initiated this program in mid 2004 we have documented over $27.2 Million in customer approved $AVEs.  Talk to your ISSI representative to see what we've saved you.

We document 6 types of $AVEs for our customers:

Price

We provide you with the same or a like product, with the same quality, the same expected life, and the same output per unit (holes per drill) at a lower price.

Application

We provide you with a lower cost per output (for example, the cost of drilling each hole in a mountain or in a piece of metal is reduced). The New Price of the product may be higher or lower, the Annual Use may change, set-up cost may have to be considered, but the result is that the cost of each output unit is less.

Process

We lower your process costs.  Your processes are simplified; therefore time is saved.  This is usually associated with personnel cost reductions.  These savings usually result from automation, single sourcing, consolidated invoicing, and restructuring process flows (for example, reducing POs and verifying packing slips to POs and invoices).

Inventory

We help you reduce your inventory or avoid increasing your inventory.

Service/Production

We provide you with a service or product that results in a cost savings or results in increased production or reduced production down time.

Freight

We made a delivery not on one of our own trucks and incurred freight charges that were not charged to the customer.
