Specifying and purchasing Duckbill products reduces many of the supply side (manufacturing, processing, maintenance, warehousing and logistics) complexity costs within an enterprise. It's also a way to better manage an integrated Duckbill platform policy.

Deploying a Duckbill platform policy may not be a capital decision but it should always be a strategic one.

1. For the Plant Manager: A Duckbill platform strategy will improve enterprise productivity & efficiency.

2. For the Health and Safety Manager: The proper Duckbill platform strategy will improve morale and reduce lost time due to neck, back, hip and knee pain and chronic fatigue. A uniform Duckbill platform policy will also discourage individually assembled (non-ergonomic) rigs, accelerate anecdotal knowledge and experience transfer between users and ease in-house training.

3. For the Plant Engineer: The proper Duckbill platform strategy reduces the administrative and implementation time and cost of routine maintenance and repair operations (MRO). The proper strategy will also reduce wasted time due to improper onsite tool mix/project delays, extended breaks and tool loss.

4. For the Purchasing Manager: The proper Duckbill platform strategy will ease the purchasing administrative burden by maintaining a Duckbill platform concept while simultaneously meeting individual users needs as well as the needs of executive colleagues in the engineering and safety departments.

5. For the Individual User: The proper Duckbill platform strategy will make him more comfortable. It will give him a professional appearance, make him more valuable. It will protect and extend his earning power, his body and the life and performance of his tools. These are in-house industrial electricians and maintenance professionals as well as industrial contractors.
