MES Supplier Consolidation Solutions

The MES Supplier Consolidation Solution provides a proven, systematic program that has repeatedly delivered to MES customers cost savings and quicker lead times, eliminating the need for retooling (with significant capital cost savings). The consolidation solution also yields immediate efficiencies that reduce warehousing and shipping costs, as well as providing many other supply chain benefits. The sourcing portfolios of manufacturers are filled with OEMs and Tier I suppliers representing various locations, processes and capabilities.

By listening to its own manufacturing customers, MES has identified multiple issues that, over time, will necessarily require changes in the working relationships between customers and suppliers. These changes can be the result of mergers and acquisitions, evolving products and services, heightened customer expectations, as well as market demands and global needs. Any combination of these tidal business changes can – and often do – lead to a proliferation of new suppliers and escalating operational costs.

In this paper, we will review how supplier portfolios can get out of alignment and how MES Supplier Consolidation Solutions can serve as a proven method for streamlining supplier management. DOWNLOAD FULL WHITE PAPER >
