Procurement Software for Electronic Industry
Flexibility is the key as demand trends continue to drive changes in how products are designed, built, and brought to market.
Electronic Industry Challenges
Key challenges ahead for procurement teams include:
- Supporting old-new hybrid production models as disruptive manufacturing technologies continue to evolve and mature
- Re-engineering supply networks to support greater on-demand manufacturing, shorter development, and product lifecycles, and rising consumer influence over product design and production planning
- Continuing to meet rigorous regulatory and environmental standards, including documentation obligations
- Exploiting emerging trends – such as open-source electronics – to reduce both R&D costs and time to market
The need is to gain granular visibility throughout global supply networks to:
- Promote supply-network flexibility and rapid adaptability
- Capture innovation (and discover new competition) as it emerges within the supply base
- Support ongoing transitions to emerging manufacturing models – for example moving from globalization to localization, from standardization to customization, and so forth
Intelligent engines for supplier discovery, negotiation and contracting, supplier relationship, and performance management will empower procurement specialists to adapt rapidly to shifting requirements of scale, volume, specialization, and location to help their companies compete successfully in the new competitive landscape.
