Supply Chain Management

Global Sourcing

The optimisation of your global supply chain requires an EMS partner who has outstanding electronics supply chain management (SCM) and can bring your product to market efficiently. This means removing as much risk as possible by working with a leader who understands how to seamlessly integrate electronic components suppliers and speaks the language of engineers and international customs agents, so delivery avoids any import or export delays and is on time, every time.

We understand the pressure that comes along with needing to meet customer commitments, and the stress of being resource-constrained. Evaluating outsourcing options begins with knowing your core competencies. Once you completely understand that aspect, you'll be able to partner with a provider that offers more expertise and experience in other areas, allowing you to focus on what you do best.

TT Electronics' secures millions of individual parts and components used in printed circuit board assemblies (PCBA), cable harnesses and complete integrations for our customers. From hard-to-find components to standardised parts, we identify options based on specific manufacturing needs.

Combat Counterfeit Electronic Components Through Prevention

Supply chain excellence is important to us. We appreciate the landscape of industry standards that apply to counterfeit avoidance and detection. Our counterfeit avoidance processes are based on the emerging Industry Standard guidelines including IDEA-STD-1010-B, SAE AS5553, and SAE AS6081.

TT Electronics' is dedicated to helping prevent counterfeit devices from making their way onto assemblies. We procure parts from reliable sources and assure authenticity and conformance of the procured parts.

We authorise brokers to sign a Non-Franchised Supplier Document (NFSSD) for parts we buy from them. Our brokers have been physically audited to be sure they comply with our counterfeit avoidance needs. We require evidence that the parts are genuine including photos, samples, and test reports.

Lifecycle Management

Each year, thousands of individual parts and components are retired or become obsolete and are pulled from inventory globally. Part of our manufacturing process is to keep customers informed in advance of retiring parts and components, which means there is less of a need to re-design and re-engineer products.

Through our best-in-class component engineering management and global sourcing programs, we learn and plan for End of Life (EOL) notices before they impact manufacturing deadlines.
