In terms of its contribution to the quality of service, we have virtually eliminated the risk of parts substitution by unapproved suppliers, which is one of the most common causes of problems with contract manufacturers, given that different customers may use similar parts from different sources which are not interchangeable.

Tresmine has also developed strategies with the major suppliers that allow us to minimise the customers' exposure to inventory without sacrificing lead times and flexibility.

For some key process indicators widely used in the industry to measure the quality of inventory management, such as number of stock turns and production cycle time, Tresmine scores consistantly better than the industry's best practice. Ultimately its our customers that benefit from these processes. Our long-term experience with procurement of electronics components also guarantees that our prices remain competitive.
