Each customer comes to Elltron with a unique business model, typically influenced by the competitive forces of their specific market or product. In many cases these unique market characteristics prevent such companies from availing of the benefits of sourcing in low cost regions.
Elltron recognises these challenges and the weakness in the "one size fits all solution" approach to supply modelling.
To overcome these obstacles Elltron adopts a progressive supply modelling approach. At the RFQ stage Elltrons staff will consult with the prospective customer in order to understand their specific demand drivers and unique business characteristics.
Armed with this information Elltron will devise a supply model to meet these specific customer needs. All supply models are devised on a basis of 'total cost of ownership' with due consideration given to the amount of administration and maintenance required by the customer.
Elltron have the capability of executing the following supply models:
- Demand pull - forecast driven models
- Standard MRP II transactional models
- Min / Max models with progressive buffer management
- Vendor managed inventory models
- Component coupling & Kitting models
- Consigned inventory models
- Any combination of the above
All models are designed to minimise customer administration and are typically executed on a basis of blanket P.O. and monthly consolidated invoicing which further reduces the total cost of ownership and therefore increases the value to the customer.
