| Every company in the high technology supply chain including EMS providers, component suppliers and OEMs have some very unique aspects to its demand planning, supply chain planning and manufacturing execution processes. Some of these unique aspects include: |
|
- Demand forecasting for new products,
which are announced quite frequently
- Need to reduce excess and obsolescence
in an environment of short product lifecycles
and unexpected changes in demand
request ECNs requiring use-up to reduce
waste
- Supply lead time exceeds demand delivery
time. OEM’s continually face Short
Turn Around Time (TAT)
- Allocations for certain components
- Multiple alternate parts. In addition,
OEM must respect split percentage volume
across suppliers for a component
- Support for various supply models including
Build to Forecast, Build to Order, and
assemble/test to Order
- Inventory tracking across outsourced
manufacturing
- Special rules for “ship complete”
- Shrinking Margins: huge cost pressures
