Inventory Management / Procurement

  • EControls requires its Contract Manufacturers (CMs) to maintain specified reserve inventory levels in addition to their normal operating inventory. CMs report their inventory levels and delivery schedules on a monthly basis.

  • EControls maintains the control of the discrete components (IC's and Passive's) utilized in the manufacturing of its products.

  • EControls negotiates pricing with its suppliers by combining component volumes (when possible) and utilizing "just in time" delivery schedules.

  • Inventory availability is assured by establishing inventory bonds with its suppliers for specified components.

  • The quality of the finished products from EControls is maintained by the purchasing of "engineering" approved components from its suppliers.

  • Inventory is received from the suppliers, inspected, labeled and shipped directly by EControls to its CMs ensuring inventory accuracy and quality.

  • Products received from the CMs is inspected and prepared for the EControls assembly process.
