1. Unstable quality
Unqualified ferrosilicon alloys may have problems such as impure composition and impurities, resulting in unstable quality. During the steel casting process, the use of substandard ferrosilicon alloy may affect the quality and performance of the casting, resulting in substandard or poor performance products.
2. Increase in cost
Substandard ferrosilicon alloys may result in additional costs, including replacement of raw materials, handling of returns, shipping charges, etc. In addition, resourcing and validating new suppliers also requires an investment of time and resources, which also increases costs.
3. Unstable supply
Unqualified suppliers can cause production schedules to be affected, resulting in delayed deliveries. This can have a negative impact on a business's production schedule and customer satisfaction.
4. Reduce production efficiency
Using substandard ferrosilicon alloys may require more time and effort for screening, inspection and processing, which will reduce production efficiency. At the same time, unqualified ferrosilicon alloys may also cause problems and failures during the production process, further affecting production efficiency.
5. Reduce customer satisfaction
Substandard ferrosilicon alloys may result in reduced product quality, and customer evaluation and satisfaction with the product will also be affected. This may damage the company's reputation and market competitiveness.
The reason why the purchasing department is cautious is not only that the quality of ferrosilicon alloy has a greater impact, but the more important reason is: there are too many profiteers. Profiteers have no bottom line
Senior purchasing personnel must have encountered some of the following bad business practices when purchasing ferrosilicon.
Some sellers may provide ferrosilicon alloys that do not meet the requirements of quality, for example, using low-quality raw materials for production, or doping ferrosilicon alloys with other elements to reduce costs and obtain higher profits. This behavior will affect the quality and performance of ferrosilicon alloys and may even pose a potential threat to production safety.
Adulteration
Due to the large price fluctuations in the ferrosilicon alloy market, some sellers may provide better quality ferrosilicon alloys when the price is low, and reduce the quality or dope with other elements when the price is high. This behavior results in the purchaser suffering losses in terms of price and quality.
It is not advisable to sell defective products as good ones, and the delivery will not be timely.
The company names of some sellers appear to be factories, but in fact they are traders and second-tier dealers. They cannot guarantee a stable supply of goods and on-time delivery, causing the purchaser to be unable to produce according to the production plan, resulting in production interruption or delay. This will not only affect production efficiency, but also increase costs and risks for purchasers.
Unstable quality
Some sellers are dumping and mixing goods, and the source of ferrosilicon cannot be determined. The quality of the ferrosilicon alloy provided will of course be very unstable, such as impure ingredients and high impurities. This will cause the purchaser to encounter problems during the production process, such as reduced casting quality and performance that does not meet requirements.
