World-class flexibility in deploying innovative solutions such as global logistics centers and configure-to-order (CTO) services

Consistency and reliability by leveraging our common enterprise systems architecture

Rapid and robust integration and visibility across the complex global supply chain

Flexibility

Whether you requested build-to-order (BTO), configure-to-order (CTO) or direct-ship services, our business-to-business (B2B) integration capabilities enable seamless supply chain integration on a global scale translating to a more cost-effective manufacturing process.

Sanmina-SCI's flexible, global manufacturing systems allow single and multiple orders to be fulfilled quickly and accurately. The flexibility inherent in our systems and processes allows millions of order permutations to be swiftly evaluated before manufacturing to a lot size of one. Our robust systems architecture ensures industry-leading performance, including a proven track record of meeting 48-hour turnaround times for BTO requests and less than 72-hour turnaround times for CTO requests.

Consistency and Reliability

Deployment of a single enterprise resource planning (ERP) system efficiently interconnects the global operations that Sanmina-SCI has established in over 22 countries. This consistent global platform enables us to manage complex system integrations with equal agility in Shenzhen, China or Kenosha, Wisconsin. Our integrated supply chain and logistics systems allow for worldwide visibility. In fact, common systems facilitate a consistent approach to program deployment and product lifecycle transitions between any of our global manufacturing sites.

Sanmina-SCI's powerful network operates around the clock, ensuring continuity of your global supply chain.

Integration

Sanmina-SCI has a powerful array of integration solutions from direct order fulfillment, CTO manufacturing, and vendor-managed inventory programs through to design, engineering and repair.

These complex B2B processes are supported by a full complement of integrated B2B services including traditional EDI, custom XML, RosettaNet and web-based portal deployment. We support a full suite of international standard transactions as well as many custom transactions created with our supply chain partners. Our extensive experience ensures that Sanmina-SCI will quickly implement a comprehensive transaction infrastructure to support your entire supply chain.

Sanmina-SCI's B2B transaction infrastructure is complemented by a suite of secure portal-based applications that facilitate collaboration on a broad array of critical customer interactions including design specifications, engineering changes, bills of material updates, quality reporting and order/shipping tracking. Our extensive portfolio provides our partners with access to information when and where they need it, minimizing travel costs and reducing cycle time.
