Conference Information

Learn how high-tech electronics manufacturing services company Flextronics was able to boost the performance of its complex supply chain. Despite having eight MRP systems, six business units, more than 200,000 transactions a week, and a limited budget, Flextronics was able to synchronize its supply chain -- including several thousand suppliers. You hear directly from Flextronics' supply chain expert Jason Schreiber about his company's key takeaways from its supply chain solution implementation.

If you manage a complex supply chain, this on-demand event is for you! Participate in an enlightening discussion about collaborative procurement, supply chain management, and inventory visibility across large and difficult supply chains. Learn how manufacturers are now able to achieve:

  • Improved visibility into outsourced manufacturing and supply chain operations

  • Increased customer order fulfillment, resulting from streamlined work orders and supply chain collaboration

  • Reduced inventory liability, thanks to visibility into production processes, component consumption, and inventories of finished goods and components

High-tech companies need to extend their enterprise to encompass not just suppliers, but contract manufacturers and customers as well. Discover how Flextronics has been able to achieve supply chain collaboration, execution, and visibility across the enterprise -- and how your company can too.
