Product lifecycle management
Wherever your products are in their product life cycle, Axiom works to integrate your organisational and product objectives and link these to developing the right purchasing strategies. We know that product life cycles are getting increasingly shorter and that time to market is critical.
Incorporating sourcing decisions early in the product lifecycle benefits product quality and time to market, reduces risks and costs. At this stage we are often asked for a wide variety of materials which may only be needed in small experimental quantities.
We check for end of life components, availability, lead times and ensure conformity to any legislation (e.g. ROHS).
As your products move through to growth and sales increase you want to be certain that the purchasing strategies employed take into account the lowest acquisition cost and that the supply chain is fully optimised.
You may require us to take on your currently approved suppliers and materials as well as developing a list of suppliers who can meet your specifications and quality standards.
Our aim is to reduce the complexities associated with volume manufacture.
As sales slow we work with you to ensure that your liabilities are reduced, optimum flexibility is introduced and where we can stabilise materials' commitments.
