Supply Chain SolutionsTTI’s Advanced Inventory Management TTI can save you money and protect the flow of incoming materials like no other company can. As the premier electronic components distributor, our core competency is managing your interconnect, passive, discrete semiconductors, and electromechanical components. Representing 75 percent of your bill of materials, 85 percent of your placements, and averaging seven percent of your total spend, these small components be handled by TTI in a cost-effective manner.
Our customized, automated programs help you prevent line down situations. Our supply chain programs are integrated into TTI’s mainstream business through the Advanced Inventory Management (AIM) reservation system — a proprietary software program that is the heart of TTI’s world-class inventory management system. This system was specifically designed to facilitate the management of thousands of low cost passive and interconnect components, improve data processing accuracy, increase product availability to our supply chain customers, and help eliminate non-value added transactions. When customers submit demand requirements to us, AIM automatically reserves the required inventory and issues replenishment orders to our suppliers to fulfill new pipeline demands. At any point in time, our program customers can see their current requirements and inventory availability through a unique TTI supply chain portal called ezReview. Contact a TTI supply chain specialist to learn how we can simplify your supply chain management at 1-800-CALL-TTI (225-5884).
Tailored Solutions for Specific Customer Requirements |
Auto Replenishment
TTI reserves inventory based on forecast demand and fulfills requirements on released orders (automatically). Auto-Release is a very efficient way to eliminate non-value added activities. Kanban/Demand Pull
Based on actual material consumption on the production line, a replenishment signal will be sent to TTI. This signal can be automated by standard EDI/SML tranactions or scanning technology. TTI ships the parts after receipt of order notification. Consignment Inventory
TTI's consigned inventory program will reduce materials procurement lead-time and increase IP&E inventory turnover. TTI will store inventory at the customer site and invoice based on product consumption. |
Bonded Inventory (BOND)
TTI will hold inventory based on an agreed quantity in a dedicated buffer stock. Third-Party Logistics
TTI's supply chain management programs will easily integrate with the requirements of an agreed third-party logistics provider.
