Unit Eight Components/Global Supply Services

The international specialists in electronic components sourcing and value added services have published a new special report to assist electronics components buyers to identify and avoid the risks involved when sourcing from low cost countries.

The new report, which is the result of extensive research and analysis, outlines the most common mistakes buyers and purchasing staff make and how to avoid them.

It explains how to successfully achieve low cost purchasing, with high quality and reliable supply and contains all the facts, hints and tips that will allow buyers to make the right purchasing decisions and see a clear way forward if buying from low cost countries.

Whilst buyers of electronic components may be aware of the significant cost advantages on offer from low cost countries, sourcing components from these countries can be a minefield with language barriers, quality issues, payment problems, shipping delays all contributing to major production delays and other disruptions � and adding to the costs.

John Reid, General Manager at Global Supply Services says � �Minimising or eliminating the risks associated with sourcing from low cost countries can help any company to implement and achieve plans for reducing costs and gaining reliable supply of quality components.

A company looking for ways to reduce their components costs, or wanting to fully explore the potential of purchasing from countries such as China, India, the Czech Republic as well as Eastern Europe, will benefit from the information in this free report.�

Sourcing electronic components from low cost countries such as China and the Czech Republic seems attractive as big advantages are promised � but all too often it results in massive supply chain headaches.

Now, with the help of this new report, and perhaps for the first time, many companies will be able to achieve low cost, high quality and extremely reliable supply for electronic components.

Free copies of this new, special report are available now from the Customer Services Department at GSS (part of the Cyclops Group) on 01904 436 488 or by email to [email protected]
