The Challenge:
The Parts Junction Inc., a supply division of Jones Manufacturing, is a full service supplier of Mighty Giant Grinding equipment. They supply farmers and ranchers with parts and repair services including hydraulic components hoses and fittings, bearings, sprockets and more. As a supplier of components that help keep their customers operating, they depend on accurate lead times from their suppliers to make sure they have the parts their customers need in stock. When their current hydraulic component supplier couldn’t consistently deliver parts on time, The Parts Junction reached out to Bailey for help manage their inventory of hydraulic components.
The Bailey Solution:
Bailey provided the Parts Junction with a blanket purchase order solution that allowed them to keep their production lines moving so they could get more products out the door. As the Parts Junction’s partnership with Bailey grew, the Parts Junction moved to a Bailey inventory management program. Kory Strudthoff, the General Manager at The Parts Junction said, “our stocking program with Bailey has resulted in even shorter production lead times, which frees up time and money for our warehouse manager.” Bailey’s advantages extend beyond inventory management solutions. We are a proactive, customer focused technical partner available to provide on-site technical support. For the Parts Junction, this meant evaluating issues surrounding a squeaky cylinder. Unlike a typical supplier, we sent our Quality Manager to the Parts Junction’s manufacturing location to help diagnose and solve the problem.

For The Parts Junction, the biggest factors they considered when choosing a supply partner were quality of product, service and support, and price – in that order. Beyond simply providing components, Bailey was able to provide inventory management and support solutions that helped The Parts Junction save time and money. Bailey offers quality components, high quality manufacturing, outstanding customer service, technical expertise and support, and more.
