The right kind of aluminium profiles must be available at the right time in order for the company\u2019s production to run as planned.\u202f\u202f&nbsp; M\u00e4kel\u00e4 Alu delivers raw materials to Riikku on a daily basis. The companies have agreed on a certain framework with regard to delivery quantities, and the details of daily orders can be confirmed at short notice within that framework.\u202f&nbsp; \u201cAs a result, the number of open orders is small and there is no need to constantly rearrange orders according to the degree of urgency. Each order is completed in its turn,\u201d says M\u00e4kiranta. &nbsp;&nbsp; \u202f&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u202f\u202f&nbsp; Fast deliveries to end customers\u202f&nbsp;\u202f&nbsp;\u202f At the same time, the waiting time for orders has been shortened, which has also enabled faster deliveries. \u201cThis is a huge advantage for the end customer. We are able to serve our customers quickly when we receive the materials we need for their orders within days instead of months,\u201d says M\u00e4kiranta.\u202f\u202f&nbsp; \u201cWe can count on M\u00e4kel\u00e4 Alu\u2019s delivery reliability\u201d\u202f\u202f\u202f&nbsp; Now that Riikku can rely on M\u00e4kel\u00e4 Alu\u2019s quick deliveries, the company only has to hold a few days\u2019 stock of aluminium profiles in its own warehouse. The rest of the stock is stored at M\u00e4kel\u00e4 Alu through the AluStorage\u00ae warehousing service. M\u00e4kel\u00e4 Alu\u2019s warehouse houses about a hundred aluminium profiles of different sizes that have been manufactured in accordance with Riikku\u2019s specifications. The profiles are only surface treated at M\u00e4kel\u00e4 Alu once an order is placed by Riikku.\u202f&nbsp; \u201cOutsourcing our warehousing activities to M\u00e4kel\u00e4 Alu means that we have less unfinished work in our production hall and less things lying around in the yard.&nbsp;This arrangement would not work if we could not rely on the quality of the products and security of supply. However, this arrangement works well with M\u00e4kel\u00e4 Alu. We always get what we order,\u201d says M\u00e4kiranta. This has also allowed Riikku to minimise waste.\u202f\u202f&nbsp; \u201cWhen we talk about waste, we don\u2019t just mean aluminium left over from machining. Waste can also refer to work carried out at the wrong time or products that are just lying around waiting to be delivered.\u201d\u202f\u202f&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;\u202f&nbsp; Continuous development based on customer needs\u202f\u202f&nbsp;\u202f\u202f\u202f Although the profile orders are handled electronically, M\u00e4kel\u00e4 Alu and Riikku interact very closely. Both companies are constantly striving to develop their operations and improve their productivity. When bottlenecks are identified, appropriate solutions are immediately sought.\u202f\u202f&nbsp; \u201cOur goal is to further shorten our delivery times,\u201d says M\u00e4kiranta.\u202f\u202f&nbsp; M\u00e4kiranta praises M\u00e4kel\u00e4 Alu\u2019s development-oriented attitude.\u202f\u202f&nbsp; \u201cThe fact that M\u00e4kel\u00e4 Alu is easy to work with is also important to us. We feel they are happy to serve us and see us as a valuable partner, despite our occasional rivalry on the baseball field.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u202f\u202f&nbsp;&nbsp; A steady order flow benefits both parties\u202f\u202f&nbsp;\u202f\u202f&nbsp; Sales Specialist Janne Kohonen from M\u00e4kel\u00e4 Alu is also happy with the cooperation.\u202f\u202f&nbsp; \u201cRiikku has truly grasped the idea of \u200b\u200bour service and understood the benefits of our strategy for the customer,\u201d says Kohonen.\u202f\u202f&nbsp; He emphasises the importance of continuous monitoring and communication in this type of operating model. According to Kohonen, Riikku is easy to work with as a partner, which is important because, in the end, partnership is all about cooperation.\u202f\u202f&nbsp; Customers can outsource their warehousing activities to M\u00e4kel\u00e4 Alu\u202f&nbsp;\u202f&nbsp; This operating model is also beneficial to M\u00e4kel\u00e4 Alu as steady daily deliveries spread out the work. When a certain capacity can be reserved in advance for the customer\u2019s orders, the customer has the opportunity to change the content of the order right up until the last moment.\u202f\u202f&nbsp; According to Kohonen, the main advantage of M\u00e4kel\u00e4 Alu\u2019s warehousing service is that the customer does not have to tie up any capital in a warehouse.\u202f\u202f&nbsp; \u201cOur customers in the window and terrace industry are already familiar with this concept, but some customers from other industries may still be surprised by the fact that warehousing can be outsourced to us and that they do not have to order the raw materials to their own warehouse,\u201d says Kohonen.\u202f&nbsp;

Alu Oy","og_description":"Balcony systems manufactured by Riikku Group Oy are installed all over Finland and Sweden every day. Since its establishment in Alavus in 2005,\u202fthe company has experienced steady growth and developed into a leading player in its field. Riikku\u2019s production facilities were significantly expanded in the autumn, and at the same time, new aluminium machining lines were put into operation. The new facilities and equipment will enable significant growth in the future as well.\u202f&nbsp; Riikku consists of three subsidiaries: Sakkes in Sweden, Glassy in Norway, and Riikku Koti Oy, which is responsible for consumer sales in Finland. The last two companies joined the group a year ago.&nbsp; &nbsp; M\u00e4kel\u00e4 Alu played a key role in Riikku\u2019s growth\u202f\u202f&nbsp;\u202f\u202f&nbsp;\u202f\u202f Cooperation between Riikku and M\u00e4kel\u00e4 Alu began six years ago, and M\u00e4kel\u00e4 Alu soon became the main supplier of Riikku\u2019s aluminium profiles. According to Joni M\u00e4kiranta, one of the owners of Riikku, the partnership marked something of a turning point for the company. Since the start of the cooperation, order and material flows have been closely monitored, and common operating methods have been developed in collaboration with M\u00e4kel\u00e4 Alu. Security of supply and transparency have constantly been improved,&nbsp;and at the same time, Riikku has experienced rapid growth. According to M\u00e4kiranta, M\u00e4kel\u00e4 Alu\u2019s warehousing services and flexible daily product deliveries have played a key role in this.\u202f\u202f&nbsp; \u201cOur production has nearly doubled during our cooperation. Increasing our production to this extent would not have been possible without M\u00e4kel\u00e4 Alu,\u201d says M\u00e4kiranta.\u202f&nbsp; Outsourced warehousing services reduced the need for storage space&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; According to M\u00e4kiranta, a steady, predetermined order flow is key when purchasing aluminium profiles. It has allowed the company to reduce its stocks and speed up its processes.\u202f&nbsp; \u201cIf we had to store aluminium profiles for many weeks, we would not be able to keep up with our current production volumes. We would be drowning in unfinished work.\u201d\u202f&nbsp; \u202f\u202f&nbsp; No more organising orders by urgency&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\u202f\u202f&nbsp; Every profile order placed by Riikku is unique in terms of dimensions, colour, and type. The right kind of aluminium profiles must be available at the right time in order for the company\u2019s production to run as planned.\u202f\u202f&nbsp; M\u00e4kel\u00e4 Alu delivers raw materials to Riikku on a daily basis. The companies have agreed on a certain framework with regard to delivery quantities, and the details of daily orders can be confirmed at short notice within that framework.\u202f&nbsp; \u201cAs a result, the number of open orders is small and there is no need to constantly rearrange orders according to the degree of urgency.
