Materials

Ultra CEMS have developed an added value materials model utilising the strength of the Ultra group in securing global deals with strategic vendors combined with the intelligent use of the latest lean principles.

Materials sourced and procured through either a direct model or from franchised broad-line distributors are managed via modern e-commerce solutions in order to meet customers' requirements with respect to unit cost, delivery and quality.

With a heritage in high reliability electronics manufacturing, Ultra are specialists in sourcing 'problem' parts, negating potential obsolescence and reducing minimum order quantities. The use of comprehensive market intelligence allows informed decisions on the procurement of strategically important materials to be made in a timely manner.

Materials management strategies including:-

the holding of strategic buffer stocks in the supply chain,

'what-if' material forecasting scenarios

Rigorous vendor qualification programmes
