High-tech companies face real challenges in creating efficiency in their operations, especially as they outsource more and more of their manufacturing processes. Efficiency requires reductions in all forms of waste due to time delays, unneeded materials, and unneeded inventory carrying costs, and typically requires increases in implementation rates for critical manufacturing ECO’s.
Too often, high-tech companies find themselves dealing with contract manufacturers and component suppliers that all use varying PLM, ERP, and other systems to keep track of data. As a result, they can’t get the information they need to make timely decisions, such as which manufacturer can complete an order on time, or how materials can be reworked to implement an ECO.
This is a clear example of the need for Intelligent Operations Management. Occupying a space in the supply chain down from the semiconductor development, High-Tech has most of the same issues, and Serus’ IOM solutions again provide a response. Our Serus Lean Operations solution enables all players in the manufacturing process to see upstream and down. Component suppliers gain visibility into expected demand from OEMs and EMS/ODMs while OEMs can assess the supply capabilities of its EMS/ODMs and component suppliers. A lack of consistent data can also put manufacturers in danger of running afoul of regulatory compliance mandates.
In short, Serus provides the information you need to make more informed decisions – and to deliver product more quickly. We enable you to compete in a world where time-to-market and time-to-volume are critical metrics.
