As the global
economy progresses into uncharted waters - markets are volatile, stock
markets have declined, housing prices have hit rock bottom and consumer
confidence is at an all-time low. During periods like this, the consumer
will only spend if the need is absolute, decreasing the market share
available for companies to capitalize on. The semiconductor industry
which is not immune to this phenomenon is equally impacted and is reacting
to this volatility...
In this harsh environment, optimal cost structure is key to increased
profitability and return on capital. Now more than ever, procurement
and its cost structure play a key role in a company’s competitive
edge. Natural tendency is to turn to drastic cost reduction efforts.
However, it is critical to maintain the right balance between cost and
service. Each company needs to find every bit of efficiency without
lowering its level of service....
Adding additional level of complexity to this volatility is that Suppliers
are constantly varying production targets and processes in an effort
to fit their supply to market demands. It is important to be positioned
to react optimally to change in supply, supplier strategy, and market
demand. The dichotomy of this situation is that while being efficient,
each company also needs to determine selective investments towards
its supply chain that will yield results in near-term. This allows
for companies to become more efficient, but also improves its effectiveness
to respond to market’s unpredictability. The secret to sustained
growth, profitability and competitive edge is to be efficient, effective
with right amount of futuristic investments to keep the competitive
edge and same levels of customer service.
SemiCORE as an organization recognizes this and would like to leverage
its relationships to help you have right inventories in the right
place in the right amounts. SemiCORE would like to partner with YOU
to bring these parameters to the forefront and implement the best
solution possible.
