Smith & Associates

edit

Smith & Associates is a partner and provider of quality products and creative supply chain solutions.

Global electronics manufacturers use Smith to:

• Source parts on short lead times when parts are scarce or when production changes cause shifts in requirements;
• Manage costs by making high-volume opportunistic purchases of components when open market pricing is below standard cost;
• Liquidate excess inventory as soon as surpluses develop, to avoid carrying costs and the risk of declining values;
• Manage component acquisition for service and warranty programs to reduce inventory carrying costs, take advantage of declining component price trends, and to insure adequate supply;
• Design and implement highly customized inventory management and procurement programs to support a current build or to augment customer purchasing staff; and
• Keep abreast of the latest price and supply trends.
