Rocket Shipment is an industry-first order processing and production system that facilitates a 24-hour turn around of custom orders for a broad range of Foxboro instrumentation products at no extra charge.
"We developed the Rocket Shipment programme in May 2005 to help our customers improve their operations by reducing inventory, minimising downtime and improving the efficiency of their ordering process", said Ken Brown, Vice President and General Manager of the Invensys Process Systems Measurements and Instruments Division.
"Since the industry standard for order fulfillment without rush charges is two weeks, it shouldn't come as a surprise that our 24-hour turnaround Rocket Shipment programme has really taken off".
"Last month's demand reached an all-time high and we will continue to expand the programme to meet the growing market demand for quality products, shipped within 24 hours of order placement as a standard service", said Brown.
The Rocket Shipment Programme involved a complete overhaul to streamline Invensys Measurements and Instruments operations.
"We had to revamp order entry, manufacturing and product quality assurance, but the effort was clearly worth it for us and our customers", said Joe Bazzinotti, General Manager, Manufacturing of the Invensys Measurements and Instruments Division.
"Today, in addition to shipping 99.9% of Rocket Shipment orders within 24 hours, our outstanding quality assurance programme allows us to extend warranties on Foxboro pressure transmitters from two years to five years, at no additional charge to provide the industry's longest standard warranty", said Bazzinotti.
