Hexatronic as a component supplier and improvement partner
CityFibre in the UK uses Hexatronic as a key supplier and an improvement partner to speed up deployment and drive costs down. Watch the interview with Greg Mesch, CEO of CityFibre to learn more about our partnership.
Challenges
- The cost of a programme, 80% labour based, and 20% materials.
- Procurement traditionally focuses on network construction as a procurement exercise and try to drive down component cost.
- Our focus is on efficiency and to drive down labour cost.
Approach
- Picking a few strategic partners to drive efficiency - to speed us up and lower our cost.
- We use Hexatronic as the component supplier and as an improvement partner, which means that when getting better we can go faster, and optimise our labour rates.
- Hexatronic also provide training for our construction partners in how to build networks efficiently.
Result
- The training alone speeded up the time to get the construction partners efficient, from 9-12 months down to three months, leading to millions of pounds in savings.
- Productivity achieved in all city implementations, based on the experience from the city implemented.
- Delivered at our cost point.
We are delighted with what
we achieve together.
