Supply Chain

ACDi offers total supply chain management services to support any NPI or production build requirement and solutions for OEMs that necessitate an electronic manufacturing outsourcing services partner. This includes turnkey procurement of board and mechanical-level parts, safety-stocking programs for critical parts, EoL/obsolescence management, counterfeit component prevention programs and chip-testing services.

In addition, ACDi offers a common stock program that grants clients the authorized use of common stock, reduces total liability for excess material and speeds up the procurement process by reducing the number of line items necessary to procure “outside”.

MRP Sharing with Key Suppliers

These suppliers receive a weekly report of our MRP and schedule their delivery and material bonds accordingly. Benefits include:

  •  Automatic shipment of material requirements within the release window insure these materials arrive on time for production
  •  Some of our client’s BoMs will have nearly 80% of their material planned in this MRP share program
  •  Bi-weekly red-flag reports from these suppliers inform ACDi of any potential disruptions to the supply chain

Counterfeit Prevention Program

ACDi protects its supply chain from counterfeit parts and products by holding our authorized manufacturers and suppliers to strict standards and avoidance.  ACDi’s procurement of parts and supply chain management are designed to adhere to the Counterfeit Electronic Parts; Avoidance, Detection, Mitigation and Disposition Standard SAE AS5553.
