TYSONS, Va., June 2, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Persistent shortages of personal protective equipment PPE, medical equipment, medical technology and supplies have made it difficult and dangerous for healthcare workers, first responders, and front line workers to get the PPE and other items they need. Many organizations are also finding a confusing maze of unscrupulous sellers, unreliable products, production nightmares, transportation backlogs and no recourse for getting their money back when they run into problems with manufacturers overseas or overburdened supply chains.

With the traditional supply chains unable to fill the gap between production and consumption, MicroTech has formed a strategic partnership with Thermal Safety Systems to pioneer an agile-response business model that removes the uncertainty of access to PPE while reducing costs and risks for buyers.

Just-in-Time PPE Delivery is a novel approach that leverages supply-chain management to sync orders to suppliers with production and delivery schedules designed to meet customer's needs. Just-in-Time PPE Delivery has been used by both MicroTech and Thermal Safety Systems to satisfy the needs of many of their customers for years, but under these arduous conditions it became obvious that new strategies for optimizing Just-in-Time Delivery needed to be implemented. As a result, we've rethought the entire workflow of the business, leveraging not only available technology, but rethinking and redesigning everything from the delivery of raw materials to the delivery of finished products. These strategies involve multiple entities up and down the Just-in-Time supply chain.

Adapting our strategy and approach to a modified Just-in-Time PPE Delivery model ensures access to PPE, medical equipment and medical technology quickly while keeping costs low, resulting in:

Improve supply management and constant inventory on hand to handle facilitate shipping
Eliminate production pressure and increase quality control price stabilization (materials, labor, and shipping from China have increased, some by as much as 1000%)
Anticipate and consolidate orders to reduce manufacturing and transportation costs

Risk-free orders are another game-changing aspect of the MicroTech-Thermal Safety Systems alliance. Under this partnership, the MicroTech financing department will fully fund PPE purchases, and collect on delivery (COD).
