How Outsourced Kitting Frees OEMs From Daily Firefighting

Supply chain management with electronic components from many different vendors can be a stressful experience. With lead-time pushbacks, juggling hundreds of lines and their respective delivery dates can cause logistical headaches and leave OEMs stuck in a cycle of daily firefighting. 

Outsourced kitting can provide a valuable solution to daily firefighting, creating an oasis of calm within a supply chain known for sudden changes and pushbacks to delivery dates and part availability. 

Using our kitting service can significantly reduce your administrative workload by delivering all required components in a single consolidated shipment, directly to your line.  Transactional costs are reduced, for example, in a traditional setup, a PCB and 50 individual components can quickly expand into 60 part numbers, 60 order lines and multiple purchase orders to manage.   

Our kitting service “simplifies the complexity” by dramatically reducing everything to a single line on one purchase order.  Rather than having to manage multiple deliveries with varying schedules, a complete kit ensures the full bill of materials arrives together, on time and ready for production.  This approach eliminates the need for constant expediting and reduces the complexity typically associated with conventional supply chain management. 

Vendor reduction is also a valuable advantage to kitting and further reduces the administrative load on an OEM. If a part goes out of stock at an approved vendor, an OEM must quickly find a solution, which may involve onboarding another supplier, increasing admin and pressure to solve the issue. With a kitting solution from Diamond Electronics, you gain access to over 200 approved suppliers, along with removing the headache of onboarding suppliers to solve a problem, all while maintaining ISO9001 compliance. 

If you’re struggling maintaining simplicity in your supply chain, and wanting to free yourself from the daily firefighting, contact us today and let us create a tailored solution for your needs.
