Roofing Production Equipment Spare Parts

Make & Hold Parts Program

Never wait on lead times again. With our Make & Hold Parts Program, we pre-manufacture your critical components under a blanket purchase agreement and securely store them in our facility. Parts are released on demand, ensuring just-in-time availability while reducing lead times, minimizing production delays, and streamlining your supply chain.

Why Sign Up for Our Make & Hold Parts Program

  • Minimize Downtime: Our program is built to prevent costly delays—critical components can take up to 12 weeks to arrive if not planned for in advance.
  • Tailored for Proactive Maintenance: Ideal for facilities with forward-thinking maintenance strategies, ensuring essential parts are on hand when needed.
  • Seamless Integration with PM Schedules: Aligns effortlessly with your roofing equipment’s preventative maintenance plans, so parts are ready for scheduled service.
  • Price Protection with Blanket Orders: Secure today’s pricing and shield your budget from inflation and rising costs throughout the year.
  • Fast, Flexible Shipping: We offer next-business-day shipping with expedited options available, so you get the parts you need—when you need them.

The Make & Hold Parts Program reduces overall lead times by keeping certain parts in stock. Instead of waiting up to 12 weeks, customers can receive these parts immediately when they’re needed, as they’re readily available on the shelf.

HOW ROOFING PRODUCTION EQUIPMENT BLANKET ORDERS WORK

Our Make & Hold Program is designed around the efficiency of blanket purchase orders, enabling us to forecast, manufacture, and stock the parts your operations depend on. By partnering closely with your team, we’ll identify the specific components and quantities that align with your equipment needs and usage patterns.

This collaborative, data-driven approach to spare parts inventory management removes the guesswork and enhances your planning accuracy—ensuring the right parts are always available when you need them.

Once your blanket order is in place, we initiate production with a standard lead time to build your inventory. After manufacturing, your parts are securely held in stock and ready for immediate shipment—eliminating delays and minimizing downtime. You get the benefits of custom-built parts without the typical wait times associated with made-to-order requests.

Whether you’re managing seasonal demand spikes, planning routine maintenance, or simply aiming to reduce lead time risks, our Make & Hold Program delivers a dependable, responsive supply chain—backed by expert support every step of the way.

5-Step Process for Getting Started With the Make & Hold Parts Program

Determine what parts you need and place a blanket purchase order

As support, we can run a report that shows your usage for each part on an annual basis 

We will proceed and begin to manufacture all the parts in the blanket order and put them in physical inventory. 

The customer contacts us when they need parts and we ship them same or next business day

We will hold your parts for 12 months. If any parts remain in inventory after 12 months, we will ship the remaining balance and close the blanket order.

Real Impact of Spare Part Inventory Management

Financial Impact 

When a production line goes down, costs add up quickly–sometimes $20,000 or more for every hour the line sits idle. Over a typical workday, that’s $160,000 in lost production. Having the exact parts you need when you need them keeps downtime to an absolute minimum.

Quality Protection 

Beyond immediate financial losses, parts availability directly impacts product quality. When roofing materials are produced using worn equipment because replacement parts aren’t available, the cutting precision deteriorates. This compromises product quality, leading to potential customer complaints, returns, and damage to your reputation. 

Seasonal Readiness 

Timing is crucial in the roofing industry. During warmer months, demand peaks as customers build inventory for the busy installation season and anticipate roofing storm damage. Having reliable parts access during this critical period ensures continuous production when it matters most. 

Maintenance Efficiency 

When many facilities schedule maintenance shutdowns at the end of the year, having the right parts on hand is essential for completing repairs efficiently and returning to production on schedule. 

Make & Hold Parts Program: Common Questions Answered

How long will you hold parts for me?

12 months is the typical standard.

Can Reichel & Drews help determine which parts I need?

Yes, absolutely. We can run a data report showing your usage for each part on an annual basis. We can also break it down monthly, quarterly, etc., to determine which part you use the most. As the OEM, we also have a spare parts manual we can share.

Is there a limit to how many parts I can include?

No, we can hold anywhere from a few parts to thousands of parts–it all depends on your needs.

How quickly can I get parts when I need them?

Roofing equipment blank orders through our program ensure your parts are pre-manufactured and ready for immediate shipment the same or next business day.

What if I no longer need some of the parts I ordered?

When you commit to the Make & Hold Parts Program, you’re committed to buying what you've ordered. If you commit to buying 10 and somewhere down the one-year or two-year period that part goes obsolete, you must still pay for the part.

What happens if I need a part but am not signed up for the program?

We do offer a Fast Ship Parts Program, where we stock hundreds of different commonly used parts that our customers might need. However, there’s no guarantee we will have the part you need in stock. The Make & Hold Part Program guarantees your exact parts are ready when you need them.
