Electronics Manufactoring
For electronics manufacturing companies to survive and thrive, they must take advantage of evolving technology and overcome current and emerging market challenges. Nexer are working with electronics manufacturers to implement modern ERP and CRM solutions, Microsoft Dynamics 365, to ensure they are well-placed to overcome these challenges.
SHRINKING OPERATING MARGINS
Manufacturing innovations and global competition are driving prices down. Cost-efficiencies are critical to staying profitable.
COMPLEX GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAIN
Compliance to strict government and industry requirements and the issue of traceability can become operational burdens as components cross many borders.
SHORTENED PRODUCT LIFECYCLES
The constant need to meet changing consumer tastes, requires an effective way to introduce new products to time and budget.
UNCERTAIN DEMAND
Production is always based on consumer demand, that can be volatile, re-active and cyclical. The sector must be able to handle spikes and have a plan for unused components when demand is low.
SUSTAINABILITY
Governmental bodies and industry standards compel manufacturing companies to consider how they can product environmentally safe products and meet the regulations around responsibility for the product’s entire lifecycle.
