MORE THAN LOGISTICS
For cms electronics, supply chain management is more than just logistics! We combine all tasks related to supplier selection, procurement, production and logistics and coordinate the collaboration of all partners involved.
We work with you to develop a logistics concept that is optimally tailored to your product, such as just-in-time delivery, Kanban, consignment warehouse, etc. In addition to optimal availability, we always keep an eye on profitability.
We are happy to take on tasks such as customs, delivery documentation or deliveries to your customers for you.
Sustainability is very important to cms electronics. Therefore, in addition to the careful selection of raw materials, disposal and logistics design, the processes are also designed electronically and paperlessly.
At cms electronics, MORE means clear structuring
We have divided our supply chain management into two areas. Firstly, the area of customer service and procurement. As the interface between our customers, cms electronics and suppliers, we take care of your concerns here.
The second area is our purchasing. Here we manage logistics, lifecycle management/obsolescence management via supplier relationship management and our procurement services in Asia. This gives you a variety of opportunities to benefit from our experience and our cooperation with local suppliers.

our know-how
Purchasing
The largest part of the costs of a product are the material costs and therefore fall under the responsibility of purchasing. This division therefore makes a significant contribution to the sustainable success of the project and company. We at cms electronics use all of our purchasing and procurement know-how from the very beginning (Design for Cost / Design for Logistics). Through our international purchasing, we provide the most efficient component strategy and therefore the best market prices (Best Cost). The advantages of joint cost management can thus be implemented sustainably.
Our work is based on the pursuit of continuous improvement... also in purchasing. The use of the high-quality and cost-effective components that we offer through our international supplier network is therefore continuously evaluated.
An important goal of strategic purchasing at cms electronics is to sustainably reduce the total cost of a product (Total Cost of Ownership - TCO).
Important tools in strategic purchasing are:
- Supplier management
- Material group management
- Inventory management
Lifecycle Management & Logistics
