Direct Order Fulfillment
Be more responsive to your customers and minimize your costs.
Make Bottlenecks a Thing of the Past.
Order fulfillment programs require OEMs to cede control of some very complex programs to an EMS partner.
Because these programs have direct impact on your customers and their perception of your brand, you must have confidence that your EMS partner understands and has internalized your business challenges and objectives.
At Creation, we’ve worked hard to make strategic planning and solutions-creation two of our core strengths.
We’ll help you see the full benefit of order fulfillment by helping you identify your key constraints, devise solutions to bottlenecks and implement a successful plan based on your company’s actual requirements, not simply on an academic or theoretical model.
