Bearing margin slipping
See when a pillow block quote and the last buy of that housing and seal stop lining up.
Sound familiar?
A pillow block is quoted from the last open insert, and the sealed one you stock does not match that buy.
The housing and the insert get quoted as one number when the last buy was only the insert.
The seal for that bore never makes it onto the quote.
How I find it
Sales history of the housings you quote, split from the insert and the seal.
Purchases of that housing, insert, and seal, including the last buy.
Your accounting system, where the quote and the invoice for that bore can be looked at together.
What the system does
It watches bearing sales and purchases 24/7 and pings you when the quote and the last buy of that housing stop lining up. It never rewrites the quote. You decide.
SampleThe usual pillow block is still quoted from the open insert. The sealed insert you last bought does not match that quote.
You decide
You decide the quote. The system does not change what you charge.
Questions
Does it change my quotes?
No. It pings you. It never takes action on its own. You decide.
Why split the housing and the insert?
The bore can match while the seal does not. A quote that treats them as one number slips.
Where do I start?
A free leak audit. I look at the housings you quote often and what you last paid for that seal.
