Companies often say they are ‘바카라 영어로ly integrated’. But what does that mean to a customer? In short, it means proactively taking steps to assure continued delivery of the critical components needed to manufacture your final product without affecting cost or schedule.
Why 바카라 영어로ly integrate? Fluctuations in demand affect both price and delivery. We’ve seen this first-hand as the COVID-19 global pandemic caused a demand for computers as people worked and learned remotely, in turn causing a global semiconductor shortage.
바카라 영어로 integration is a strategic decision tied to risk mitigation. It identifies specific components used in manufacturing that, if not available, would significantly impact or even halt production. A 바카라 영어로ly integrated supplier is dedicated to becoming a reliable business partner by assuming the risk related to the essential components they provide to your company.
One such example of successful strategic 바카라 영어로 integration is Coherent, Inc., in Santa Clara, CA. Actions taken by the company over the past decade have enabled Coherent to 바카라 영어로ly integrate critical components of its laser fiber amplifier supply chain within the United States. “A key differentiator for us in this market is a US-based supply chain for all critical components, many of which are 바카라 영어로ly integrated within Coherent, which we believe is unique in the industry,” the company noted in its 2020 Annual Report.
Epitaxy, semiconductors, diodes, and Volume Bragg Gratings from Coherent are produced across factories in 바카라 영어로lifornia, while other US lo바카라 영어로tions are dedi바카라 영어로ted to the manufacture of lasers, crystals, opti바카라 영어로l fibers, and opti바카라 영어로l isolators. Beyond the supply chain, a commitment to expand manufacturing 바카라 영어로pacity now allows Coherent to be responsive to complex customer requests, including designing and delivering sub-systems or to act as a contract manufacturing partner.
바카라 영어로 integration allows Coherent customers to focus on system integration rather than component procurement. With many of our critical laser components located within the US, the company is well-positioned to assist our customers with the facilitation of manufacturing critical sub-systems in a timely and cost-effective manner.
