With the general purpose, this material has a high value and priority for supplier. When someone decides to supply this material they have to consider some aspects: 1.) Stock, 2.) Location, 3.) Relation, 4.) Price and 5.) Production, 6.) Time, 7.) Packing, 8.) Loading and 9.) Shipping.

1. Stock

The products can be a big obstacle when you are not able to have stocks. Yes, the stock of your products is the important one. Relating to Old Beams Products, these materials is not an easy one to seek but if you have some relation or colleagues this can be the answer of question.

2. Location

Where do you live is where the location of products is. I live in Java, in a tropical region, so the material I found here is anything relating to tropical wood. Old Javanese Teak is usual in here but can be gold for other countries. Old Beam Products spread in many villages in my country, Indonesia. From Central Java to East, Kalimantan and Bali. So, the important one to supply this material is how to specify the effective location to have many stocks and for shipping access.

3. Relation

Having many relations can ease you to have more contacts when you are in a problem. Create some relation to others based on their interest and make some benefit of their interest. These people can help you in your difficult situation. So keep these people and make them in comfort atmosphere.

4. Price

Determining the price is a difficult one. Why because you have to know the market price within your production. The importer also determines from the market price therefore the lower price of the market can make some attentions for prospective importer or buyer. But you have to consider the cost of production, packing and shipping because this is the basic of manufacturing.

5. Production

Old Beams Supplier need to have workshop in processing this material. You need to have some artisans for this. If their salaries are okay, your productions are perfect. So make their needs to be fulfilled but in rationale terms. Also keep them in comfortable relation.

6. Time

Time allocation is the important one for both buyer and seller. The production of custom products need more time rather than finishing products. You have to say the clear information about this time of production in order to make everything in schedule.

7. Packing

Before packing you have to know the shipping terms. Whether Over-Land, Over-Sea or Over-Air. Each of these terms has different ways in packing. The basic of packing is how to keep your products are in safely condition to the destination port.

8. Loading

After processing the material, we have to prepare in loading to ship. Usually government surveyor supervises the document, products, and license. Another important one is a packing case to pack them in container. Beam is heavy weight products, so the pallets must be in good quality and durable time.

9. Shipping
