SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT SERVICES

Many global companies are choosing to outsource parts of their supply chain to reduce costs and improve performance. In industries such as medical, automotive, computing and storage, and networking and telecommunications, outsourcing can be a solution to time-to-market and cost pressures. We can handle supplier identification, supply planning, purchasing, and global logistics for you so that you can focus on growing your core product portfolio and technologies.

SUPPLIER IDENTIFICATION AND QUALIFICATION
Some companies want to locate new suppliers for cost or market needs but may not have in-house resources or experience to do this. C2X has experience working in China and with the following commodity groups: sheet metal, machining, plastics, circuit boards, embedded PC's, optical components, and value-add assembly test. Send us the specifications for your part and your volume, price, and market location goals. We will develop a list of candidate suppliers for the part in addition to a qualification plan, schedule, and business case. We will also manage the procurement and inspection of sample parts and provide engineering assistance with technical issues during the supplier qualification process. We will continually monitor supply base performance against requirements, provide statistical analysis to quantify supplier capabilities, and share capability data with your engineering team for future design considerations.

REGIONAL PARTS STAGING
C2X can help global suppliers meet cost and local delivery requirements at the same time. We can serve as a regional hub for suppliers outside of the United States by providing importation and warehousing of components or assemblies and staging them for KAN BAN delivery service to local customers. With core competencies in global parts procurement, inspection, and lean manufacturing in addition to a central location in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, C2X provides an excellent option for regional parts staging.

REGIONAL DEPOT REPAIR
For complex assemblies, our supply chain management capability can be combined with our technical capability to provide regional troubleshooting and repair or nonconforming material or items taken out of service. It can be expensive to return product to a supplier on the other side of the world for rework. C2X can help reduce overall cost and improve local delivery performance with its depot repair services in the United States.
