Electronic component sourcing: How EPSA reduced lead times for a global industrial player?
Against a backdrop of global shortages and lengthening delivery times, how can you guarantee optimum operational performance? EPSA, an expert in technical operations, is rising to the challenge with tailor-made support.
Context and challenges:
The electronics industry is facing major imbalances: delivery times are being extended by several weeks, disrupting supply chains. For our customers, these delays mean additional costs and risks of disruption. Securing supplies and reducing lead times are therefore becoming strategic priorities.
Our approach:
At EPSA, we combine a rigorous and agile methodology to meet these challenges:
Phase 1 – Project framing and coordination :
- Analysis of specifications,
- Gathering requirements and working closely with our agencies to ensure a global vision
Phase 2 – Deployment of action plan :
- Technical purchasing and targeted international sourcing
- Quality management to guarantee new and official products
- Document management and optimisation of import/export flows
- Seamless integration into customers’ import/export processe
Our centralised, dedicated organisation ensures efficiency and traceability at every stage.
