Call for water to'go beyond the catalogue'

摘要

Water companies should be more willing to work with the supply chain on bespoke solutions rather than opting for off-the-shelf products that may not meet their needs, according to a new report.The 'Going Beyond the Catalogue' report from flow control specialists TALIS claims there is 'endemic waste' in the sector caused by incorrect buying deci-sions for non-standard applications.The report details the ways in which poor decisions are causing costs to rise and highlights a five-point plan to create more intelligent design, specification and procurement processes.
