About FSP
Flextronics Supplier Portal (FSP) is a next generation supply chain collaboration solution. Flextronics plans to use FSP to manage all supplier communications, transactions and processes beginning with Procurement Automation (Forecast and Purchase Orders).
Flextronics Supplier Portal (FSP) Supplier implementations are on going. For additional information regarding the detailed Supplier Implementation schedule, please contact your site FSP Coordinators or Site Buyer.
Who uses FSP?
Flextronics first released FlexPASS in December 2002 with one facility, a handful of parts and a few suppliers. Two years later, in January of 2005 we had 14 Flextronics’s facilities ordering 23,000 parts from 600 suppliers. Today, this program is in full production with 23 Flextronics’s facilities ordering 60,000 parts from 1,400 suppliers. Starting with Tczew sites, FSP is currently being implemented globally and will replace FlexPASS over the next 12 months.
