Elcoteq Network Corporation is a leading Global Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) company with Original Design Manufacturing (ODM) capabilities in the communications technology field. They provide global end-to-end solutions, including design, NPI, manufacturing, supply chain management and after-sales services for the lifecycle of its customers' products, everything from mobile phones to microwave radios.

Nearing a scheduled summer Go-Live, IRMS is being implemented at multiple Elcoteq facilities beginning in North America for global inventory visibility throughout the manufacturing process, including Vendor Managed Inventory and Consignment Inventory at both the raw materials and finished goods levels.

IRMS will be seamlessly integrated with BaaN and TIBCO as well as Elcoteq's own manufacturing execution solutions, to provide total item-level inventory control, including lot control for management of inventory aging (shelf life), as well as improve inventory accuracy, supplier support and customer service.

"Very few industries drive innovation in the Global Supply Chain like Electronic Manufacturing does," noted Integrated Warehousing Solutions President, Carl Brewer. "It is a great honor and challenge to have our Global Supply Chain solution selected by one of the leading EMS providers. This extremely complex project will lift our solution, thinking and execution to new levels of excellence in providing demand-driven Supply Chain solutions."
