Grace Wang / Zhan Yun (Shanghai) Electronics Co., Ltd., IT Department Manager

Zhan Yun Electronics primarily produces microcomputers, handheld computers, peripheral products, and related components and is one of the world's largest laptop case manufacturers with an annual output of tens of millions of units. To reduce costs and improve customer service, and considering the original operation mode was not easy to manage and was not rigorous enough, Zhan Yun Electronics decided to implement the manufacturing cloud system in 2014.

Previously, the company always wondered when customer needs changed, when orders were adjusted, which part numbers needed responses, when receivables would be paid, how to handle customer inquiries when not at the desk, supplier material progress, and when materials would be delivered, etc. With the help of Quanta Computer, the system quickly established a company supply chain management and procurement process management. This significantly improved and enhanced the original system's shortcomings, resolving all these questions.

The manufacturing services cloud system allows the company and suppliers to enter a single platform environment, better understanding the progress of supplier materials to effectively reduce company costs and more efficiently link and share information. Since managing inventory, sales, and purchases are the three main tasks of any company operation, where procurement and inventory management are the costliest segments, the cloud service system provides supplier inquiries and proactive notification features, quickly understanding the status of supplier materials to accelerate procurement transactions.

For the company, deadstock not only ties up capital and increases inventory costs but also damages the company's modern management image. Currently, selling deadstock in one go to deadstock recycling dealers is the main way most companies handle deadstock. The manufacturing services cloud idle material resale management module, through a fair and open bidding method, not only speeds up inventory processing but also enhances material visibility and achieves better purchase prices; while buyers through the platform also obtain the second-hand materials they need, completing a fair, open, and just transaction, solving the company's inventory issues, and achieving the goals of maximizing material use and reducing costs. Zhan Yun Electronics' business model has always advocated zero inventory, and the manufacturing services cloud system has enabled Zhan Yun Electronics to say goodbye to deadstock!
