Sourcing & Procurement

Our broad, well-established international supplier network and dedicated procurement professionals meet the needs of OEMs throughout the industry because they allow us to constantly refine supply channels to secure the best value and ensure supply continuity.

We have centralized Purchasing teams located around the world that forecast, plan, and execute in one Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system to produce uniform experiences. We're not bound by geography or limited by disparate ERP systems — instead, we're uniquely positioned to be your "all-in" assembly component supply chain solution, tailoring the procurement process to meet your needs. We also have a dedicated Forecasting team that can work with you to understand and improve the accuracy of your bill of materials (BOM) and your on-time delivery metrics.

We understand there isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach to supply continuity, so we measure your forecast accuracy every month and provide summarized reports to ensure you receive best-in-class demand planning solutions that keep your manufacturing floor running.

Our robust approach to procurement benefits you by:

• Giving you access to strategically located Global Buying team members near supplier nerve centers to speed up resolutions
• Measuring your forecast accuracy on a defined cadence to improve bill of materials (BOM) precision
• Producing gap reporting and inventory transparency at regular intervals
• Providing access to real-time data and analytics that keep your supply chain optimized
• Using advanced forecasting software to reduce excess and obsolete inventory
• Leveraging a global ERP and planning system that delivers full visibility into all products within our network
• Giving you access to a right-sized Procurement team with the software and advanced buying techniques that produce cost-effective solutions
