For years Contract Manufacturers have used Integrated Supply services to manage their supply chain for electronics. These services manage inventory, stock work cells, process ECOs and quote new parts. The result is improved cash flow, reduced inventory, increased part availability and competitive prices. ThreeCore now makes this service available for manufacturers of electro-mechanical equipment.  View Full Size Consigned Production Materials - Decreased Inventory ThreeCore typically sets consignment inventory levels to match our customer's demand over a 2 to 4 week interval. This keeps the inventory moving and minimizes the material exposure in the supply chain. Pricing - Transparency Customers always know the supplier of record and their pricing. In most cases our competitive bidding process enables our customers to have managed, consignment inventory without any increase in material costs. Adding and Deleting Parts - Flexibility Customers can always add and delete parts from their Integrated Supply program. This provides the flexibility to manage your supply base to meet your current needs. KanBan Material Flow - Part Availability All parts are managed in a KanBan setting. ThreeCore uses your-product level forecast to establish minimum and maximum stocking levels. We also set supplier capacity flexibility to handle spikes in demand. Material Returns - Timely Corrective Action ThreeCore's on-site materials manager will handle all material returns and provide a monthly pareto analysis and root cause corrective action documentation. Pay on Use - Improved Cash Cycles Customers pay for the materials as they consume the parts in production. This method can improve a customer's material payment to product shipment cycle by more than 50%. Consolidated Billing - Accounting Ease Each week customers receive a consolidated invoice from ThreeCore for the material consumed. The consolidated invoice eliminates the administrative need to deal with each supplier individually. Engineering Change Orders - Structure and Visibility ThreeCore manages Engineering Change Orders (ECO) process with suppliers for managed parts. This avoids implementation delays and communication issues that lead to unexpected charges.
