EV Powertrain SystemsChallenge
Long lead times affecting production schedules
Solution
Local LA warehouse + VMI program
The Challenge
TechAuto Inc., a leading manufacturer of EV powertrain systems, was facing critical supply chain challenges. Their previous distributor required 3-4 weeks for delivery, causing production delays and forcing them to maintain excessive inventory levels.
- 21-day average lead time from international distributor
- $2.5M tied up in safety stock
- Production delays averaging 5 days per month
- Emergency air freight costs exceeding $150K annually
The Solution
LITONG implemented a comprehensive supply chain solution leveraging our Los Angeles warehouse and Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) program:
- Local Stock: Maintained 90-day inventory of critical Silan IGBTs and MCUs at LA warehouse
- VMI Program: Automated replenishment based on consumption patterns
- FAE Support: Dedicated technical engineer for design optimization
- Consignment: Pay-as-you-consume model reducing working capital
The Results
From 21 days to 3 days
Reduced safety stock requirements
vs previous distributor pricing
In 18 months since partnership
"LITONG transformed our supply chain. The local warehouse and VMI program eliminated our stockout issues entirely. We've saved millions in inventory costs and our production line hasn't stopped once for component shortages."
