Uncovering the Total Cost of Ownership

Why Outsourcing Supply Chain Management Saves You in the Long Run

The total cost of high purity chemical ownership is more than just raw materials. While managing over 5 billion pounds of pre-packaged, high purity chemicals and gasses annually, Rinchem has uncovered the true cost of ownership.

In this White Paper, we will examine how Rinchem has leveraged its Buying Power, Global Network of Transportation and Total Materials Management System to minimize the costs, errors and supply chain issues experienced by many semiconductor companies.

Life Cycle Costs of the Chemistry

The total cost of high purity chemical ownership is more than just raw materials. In a recent study of five high-velocity semiconductor chemicals, Rinchem discovered through its position in the supply chain and access to various data points, that chemical manufacturers are baking in other costs as they sell their chemistries (container, transportation, storage, maintenance, track and trace management). In March of 2022, the average logistic to chemical cost ratio is close to 45% on most chemicals. The opportunity to reduce total cost of ownership is through the strategic management of logistics.
