About company
Smith & Associates is a partner and provider of quality products and creative supply chain solutions. Global electronics manufacturers use Smith to: - Source parts on short lead times when parts are scarce or when production changes cause shifts in requirements; - Manage costs by making high-volume opportunistic purchases of components when open market pricing is below standard cost; - Liquidate excess inventory as soon as surpluses develop, to avoid carrying costs and the risk of declining values; - Manage component acquisition for service and warranty programs to reduce inventory carrying costs, take advantage of declining component price trends, and to insure adequate supply; - Design and implement highly customized inventory management and procurement programs to support a current build or to augment customer purchasing staff; and - Keep abreast of the latest price and supply trends.
