PURCHASING
AND SCM

As customers focus on their core competencies, contract manufacturers as their partners must be able to control costs and supply products and services of the right quality at the right time while managing risks in logistics chains that are becoming increasingly complex. Besides production, contract manufacturers need to offer comprehensive purchasing, logistics, production and testing services.

Scanfil’s sourcing operations cover everything from the selection of component suppliers and the pricing of components to the day-to-day management of material flows and supplier control. The sourcing organisation always finds the most cost-effective suppliers and logistics solutions globally. The key criteria for supplier selection are quality, delivery reliability, flexibility and cost-efficiency. The purchasing organisation controls and supervises the selected suppliers to ensure optimal stock turnovers without jeopardising deliveries to customers.

Scanfil has a strong position in the production value chain, as it can offer customers an extensive service package of a systems supplier. The company controls and manages a supplier network whose structure is optimised for efficiency and cost-effectiveness from the customer’s perspective.
