Consumer Electronics
The consumer electronics industry is faced with dynamic market conditions and rising customer demands that are drastically impacting bottom-line profitability and supply chain efficiency. Consumers have the flexibility to compare products and shop in channels of preference, spurring higher levels of product and price competition. To add to this complexity, consumer electronics companies are expanding into new markets and channels. This drives an increase in channel partners—namely suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, value-added resellers, retailers, and kiosks. In order to effectively manage this expansion, leading consumer electronics companies are working to become demand driven, putting emphasis on integrating their demand and supply chains into a single cohesive demand-supply network.
Today, consumer electronics companies are grappling with issues aimed at raising service levels and lowering costs due to
- Unpredictable channel demand
- Price erosion
- Product and technology obsolescence
- Supplier assurance and sustainability
- Warranties and returns
