Material Sourcing Services eliminate Supply Chain Disruption
Challenge: our customer encountered a supply chain disruption for a plastic resin, which threatened the production, sales, and in-field maintenance of a scientific instrument
Solution: we procured a suitable replacement material that the customer was not aware of before the shortage, eliminating any disruptions to the annual production schedules and meeting in-field servicing needs
