Transforming traditional operations into dynamic, digitalised systems is essential in today’s supply chain management. As a leading electronics manufacturing services (EMS) provider, we specialise in enhancing responsiveness and efficiency, focusing on adaptability, agility, and flexibility to navigate the complexities of modern markets.
Adaptable, Agile, and Flexible EMS Supply Chain for Our Partners
With shifting market demands, product forecasts frequently change, thus this requires a supply chain partner who is not only experienced but also highly adaptable, agile, and flexible. This capability is essential in high-mix, low-volume scenarios where traditional approaches often fail.
Here at PCI, we utilise our extensive expertise in integrated supply chain management to effectively tackle these challenges. As an established EMS provider, we are able to address production uncertainties, such as forecast fluctuations, through meticulous planning and management of complex processes, sequences, schedules, routings, and logistics services. Our strategic approach ensures comprehensive end-to-end solutions across the entire supply chain.
Our Supply Chain Capabilities
Here’s a list of what we can offer to our clients:
Integrated Business Planning
Our next-generation planning solutions provide a resilient end-to-end supply chain management that you can entrust us with to deliver the best solutions and approaches that meet your supply chain needs. Whether it’s planning production, procurement, or distribution, our real-time integrated business planning and agility allow us to quickly respond to unpredictable disruptions such as changes in supply plans, schedule, and allocations — so your products get delivered on time regardless of external challenges.
Digital Supplier Network
Through our Digital Supplier Network, we ensure real-time, two-way, and always-on communication and collaboration, providing our partners with comprehensive visibility and transparency across the entire supply chain network.
Warehouse Digitalisation
At the heart of the supply chain, we improve our warehouse efficiency by digitalising end-to-end inventory control from sourcing materials to the dispatch of finished goods. This initiative is a crucial part of our broader strategy for digitalisation in supply chain management and logistics. Our team is equipped with real-time access to our warehouse management system — even on mobile devices. This enhances speed, agility, efficiency, and productivity throughout our operations. With these improvements to our digital supply chain framework, we are able to deliver significant benefits to our partners.
Manufacturing Execution System
High-mix, low-volume production requires a robust manufacturing execution system (MES). Our MES is specifically designed to enhance the efficiency of order flows and production processes, in which the successful implementation of manufacturing operations is ensured. It enables status updates from raw materials to the final product, providing systematic evaluation and analysis of yields and quality while optimising resource management. Furthermore, our MES offers real-time data visibility across the supply chain, which helps to lower production costs, reduce loss risks, and minimise product variance.
