Arrow Asia`s Web-based supply-chain tool delivers materials

"Arrow's consignment VMI program allows customers to delay ownership of inventory and reduce cycle times while increasing the availability of components. CARES provides a powerful, highly flexible yet intelligent system that supports just-in-time, lean and cell-based manufacturing environments," said Gert Labuschagne, vice president of the South Asia region for Arrow Asia Pac.

"Our supply-chain solutions will help manufacturing companies, such as Likom, reduce inventory replenishment cycle times and costs, increase materials management flexibility, and enhance supply-chain visibility."

Requiring no IT support or investment from the customer, CARES is a user-friendly, Web-based tool offering 24/7 access. Multiple suppliers and any number of suppliers or parts can be managed from a single interface.
