A strong Purchasing Department is the cornerstone of any
successful manufacturing operation. Establishing a staff
of technically competent professional personnel who understand
the importance of solid relationships with reliable suppliers is
critical to the successful manufacture and delivery of product
at a competitive cost to the customer. The current average
quarterly performance of the supply chain is summarized as

Our purchasing philosophy is to maintain strategic partnerships
with suppliers from around the world that understand the
importance of responsiveness and flexibility in the purchasing
process. The maintenance of such supplier partnerships ensures
that we have priority access to a constant supply of common and
hard-to-find parts and components for turnkey projects at
competitive costs. This strategy helps to minimize material lead
times that are generally expected with high-demand and backlogged
parts and components which can subsequently delay product
manufacture and availability to the market. The quality and
on-time delivery (OTD) rolling-window performance trend of our supply chain is summarized as follows:

Our strategic business relationships with our suppliers allows
us to procure materials in a Just-in-Time capacity which gives us the ability to
receive
materials at our factory only when they are needed thereby
avoiding holding costs associated with material stocking and
inventory. We can also realize cost effective material procurement
through effective computerized material requirement planning
systems whereby we can purchasing of identical materials for use
on several projects concurrently which can lower material costs by
combining material requirements to achieve volume price breaks.
We would be happy
to supply you with manufacturer data sheets and part samples or arrange
for no-cost prototype
printed circuit board, interconnecting wire or cable harness
assembly samples upon request.
