3. Value Proposition
• CENTURY BUSINESS DEFINITION
•
• For over 50 years, Century Fasteners and Machine Company (CFMC) has provided a complete range of
engineered fasteners for the most demanding industrial applications including aerospace, military, government,
transportation, and commercial. More recently, Century has expanded its offerings to include a wide variety of
close-tolerance machined and stamped metal components and assemblies.
•
• Currently, CFMC has the following certifications:
•
• ISO 9001:2008
• WBE – Women Owned Business
• EDWOSB – Economically Disadvantaged Women-owned Small Business
• DBE – Disadvantaged Business Enterprise
•
• CFMC’s unique certification profile coupled with its broad range of engineered manufacturing capabilities
positions CFMC to compete effectively in a wide range of markets, including, but not limited to, Aerospace and
Government, as large users are recognizing and giving priority through set aside programs to businesses which
have qualified to the specifications above. Further, this allows CFMC to be a qualified Class 2 and 3 threaded
fastener distributor to the government. Since mid-2010, CFMC has upgraded its inspection capability and now
performs rigorous incoming and outgoing inspection per MIL-I-45208A.

4. Value Proposition, cont.
• Growth Strategy Elements
•
• Focus on the Customer: CFMC understands that time is crucial and most stock item order will ship out within 24 hours from the time
it is placed. If an item is not in stock our team pre-expedites all orders to ensure prompt and accurate lead times are met. This
commitment to service is a core element of the company mission:
•
• Century Fasteners knows that high quality products and competitive pricing is a requirement for all its customers. For over 50
years Century has met these requirements. However, we also realize that delivering a superior customer experience involves
more than product quality and pricing. We spend the time to learn about your individual needs and tailor our delivery system to
meet them. We strive to be a true partner to our customers. It is personal and we make it our number one priority.
•
• Gail Glasser has made personal selling her top priority and has received a very positive response from both customers and prospects,
who desire a more committed partnership.
•
• Concentrate on diversity buying situations: A wide range of selling opportunities, from Government work to companies with
diversity initiatives, is available for CFMC due to its unique status. These opportunities will be the focus of the company’s outreach
efforts.
•
• Partner with select manufacturers: CFMC believes that strong partnerships with its suppliers are key to its partnerships with its
clients. CFMC has developed several key partnerships to target specific market opportunities which fit Century’s strategic position.
Century will continue to expand its role as a contract manager for sales to its target customers.

5. Value Proposition, cont.
• The CFM Value Proposition
•
• The key to CFMC’s success will not be in the product, per se, but in how CFMC manages the delivery system. As
a small company, CFMC will be able to develop a deep understanding of each customer and its needs. CFMC
will focus on building a delivery system that minimizes the customers’ time commitment. Answering all
incoming calls personally so a second call doesn’t have to be made
• Stressing 1st call resolution which includes getting all the relevant information
• Published and predictable quotation turnaround times
• Pre-expediting orders to insure that vendor delivery dates are being met
• Maintaining buffer stock for high volume parts
• VMI programs for select high volume parts
• Incoming and outgoing product inspection
• Complete documentation support for all relevant orders
• Kitting Solutions
•
• A well-managed delivery system will focus on reliably meeting the customers’ expectations. As such, this will
provide the platform for moving the customer base from satisfied to loyal. Loyal customers buy more, do not
shop around and recommend the company to others. To get customers to this level, CFMC must do more than
have a reliable and repeatable delivery system coupled with high quality products at fair prices.
