Company Performance Metrics
Terrence Smith: President- Michael Rutledge, CPA: Chief Financial Officer
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.
