Kitting is the process by which separate but related items are picked, packaged, and supplied together under one part number. For example, instead of ordering pistons, rings, seals, and other necessary spare parts from several vendors for an engine overhaul job, the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) may choose to create a kit of the related items under one SKU, increasing the ease of ordering for the dealer.
An OEM can use a kitting warehouse to simplify ordering for its dealer network, taking advantage of NewStream’s expert kitting services. The kitting warehouse procedure includes building customized kits by procuring parts from multiple vendors, packing the parts in an OEM-branded box, and distributing the product to the OEM's parts distribution centers (PDC) or direct shipping to the dealer network as needed. Kitting operations like this are a proven way to reduce handling costs and inventory to help maximize profits for the OEM while simultaneously increasing customer service
