Systems Assembly and Manufacturing
Flextronics utilizes just-in-time, ship-to-stock, and ship-to-line programs, continuous flow manufacturing, demand flow processes, and statistical process controls. As OEMs seek to provide greater functionality in smaller products, they increasingly require more sophisticated manufacturing technologies and processes. By investing in advanced manufacturing equipment and innovative miniaturization, packaging, and interconnect technologies, Flextronics offers a variety of advanced manufacturing solutions.
Flextronics offers a comprehensive set of custom electronic enclosures and related products and services worldwide. These services focus on functionality, manufacturability, and testing. They are integrated with other assembly and manufacturing services to provide customers with greater responsiveness, improved logistics, and overall improved supply chain management.
Flextronics manufacturing and assembly services benefit from inventory management expertise and volume procurement capabilities, which contribute to cost reductions and reduce total cycle time. Through a manufacturing resources planning system, Flextronics enjoys real-time visibility on material availability and real-time tracking of work in process. Flextronics utilizes electronic data interchange with customers and suppliers to implement a variety of supply chain management programs. Electronic data interchange allows customers to share demand and product forecasts and deliver purchase orders while also assisting suppliers with just-in-time delivery and supplier-managed inventory.
Industrial Parks
Flextronics' Industrial Parks are self-contained facilities that co-locate manufacturing and logistics operations with suppliers in low-cost regions. The Industrial Park strategy is based on minimizing logistics costs throughout the supply chain and production cycle time by co-locating a number of suppliers in one low-cost location. Each park incorporates the manufacture of printed circuit boards, components, cables, plastics and metal parts needed for product assembly. This approach to production and logistics is designed to benefit customers by reducing distribution barriers and costs, improving communications, increasing flexibility, lowering transportation costs and reducing turnaround times. Industrial Parks enhance the Company’s total supply chain management, while providing a low-cost solution for customers. Flextronics has strategically established large Industrial Parks in Brazil, China, Hungary, Mexico, and Poland.
