Supply Chain Strategies
Smith Supply Chain Strategies are customized to meet your needs.
To simplify things, we call ourselves a distributor. That’s because for over 25 years we’ve been the ones to call to source and deliver hard-to-find electronic components. Especially when you needed them “yesterday.” But Smith is so much more than that. Our team has expertise in other parts of the supply chain, like marketing excess inventory or capturing cost savings for our customers in down markets and scheduling parts for production or repair in up markets. As a result, we can work with you to understand your pressure points and to tailor for you a relevant, winning supply chain strategy.
Here are some of the things Smith supply chain strategies can do for you:
Reduce total cost of inventory ownership
Save today and into the future
Consolidate and reduce vendors
Increase efficiency and reduce administrative costs

Hub components for JIT production or repair
