Electronics -/ High-Tech Industries

Companies working in these industries are faced with the challenge of extremely fast product cycles. This necessitates a permanent alignment of existing key competencies, resources and performance with growing cost pressure after product implementation. This in turn leads to make-or-buy decisions in regular intervals in a network of partners, with whom common flexible supply chain networks are built. Only the speedy involvement of development suppliers, service providers and distributors enables the ever more necessary high-speed supply chains. Obtaining serial production quality, integrated quality and function testing and flexibly using production capacities world wide are further main tasks of operations.
