Rush Orders in the Just-In-Time Supply-Chain, the telCade Solution

With just-in-time (pdf) supply chains, time and space translates into reduced working capital, improved gross margins, and competitive products. 

How does telCade support emerging products that require rush orders?

What's the Problem

For mature products, the rigid process of JIT supply chains produces reliable, profitable streams. 

For emerging products that compete based on innovation and change, but share the production line with mature products - the cost of change orders, pull-in's, pull-out's, and reworks can be 25% of sales; and drain the resources of the company.

How telCade Addresses the Problem

In the rush to market, mistakes happen. telCade maintains relationships with dozens of PacRim sources. Our relationships are personal. When problems occur, telCade has the local resources to find available labor to solve the problem, without breaking the bank.

For example:

• 30,000 cables needed to be changed following an engineering change. telCade found the affordable outsource with available capacity to solve the problem.
• An engineering change resulted in a rush order for parts to meet the scheduled production slot. telCade found the manufacturing capacity, reduced ship time from six weeks to two, and met the schedule.
• Market changes antiquated millions in a manufacturer's finished goods inventory. telCade supplied the resources to rework the products cost effectively - saving the inventory write-down.
