Manufacturers
of consumer electronics are plagued by shrinking lifecycles,
decreasing margins, increased competitiveness, demanding
customers and stricter environmental legislations. They
must identify and continuously upgrade the business
processes most vital to cost and capital productivity.
At different stages of product life cycle, the executives
might need to balance between innovation and productivity
gains for greater shareholder value.
There are certain other unique problems
for such a rapidly churning industry where both the
technology and consumer preference change fast. Manufacturers
need to match demand with supply (typical of a distribution
driven industry) continuously. There is also a need
to integrate the forward and reverse supply chain to
enable proper utilization of assets and resources.
Margin pressures on manufacturers of
consumer electronics warrant a global sourcing strategy
and seamless downstream movement of goods into the value
chain. There is a need for greater collaboration between
trading partners so that the right item reaches the
right place at the right time and at the optimum price.
Combination of a multitude of external
and internal factors springs several challenges, both
from a business and IT perspective. Wipro Technologies
