As the largest Privately-held Electronics Manufacturing Service (EMS) provider in Southern California, EMI offers our customers the cost-effective benefits of large materials volume.  Since our inception in 1983, we have been carefully cultivating our relationships with leading suppliers.  With the added resources of our global network, we have further strengthened our supply chain, resulting in additional cost savings for our customers.  To facilitate our materials procurement process, we are electronically linked with our key suppliers and their inventories.  This allows us to quickly evaluate and locate the most cost-effective supply channels on behalf of our customers.  Additionally, our approved vendor list allows us to cross-reference suppliers to locate required components and materials.  The benefits of our established and automated supply chain are numerous: we allow our customers to eliminate repetitive purchasing tasks, optimize receiving and inspection functions, and eliminate costly errors.  Ultimately, these benefits directly strengthen your bottom line.

In addition to procurement services, EMI also manages our customers' components and materials, both consigned and customized.  With our on-line replenishment program, we provide computerized shortage and bin-inventory reports, as well as just-in-time inventory for Class A custom components.  In addition, we fully support critical electronic data sharing with our Manex inventory software system, the latest inventory system designed specifically for the EMS industry. To better accommodate our customers' various requirements, we have the capabilities to warehouse materials in our own secured facilities, as well as in our offshore facilities, and will help you determine which alternative is the most cost-effective for your company. For those customers who choose to warehouse their materials at our in-house facilities, we provide a dedicated shelf for each project's materials.  For all of our customers, we ensure 100% verification to client's BOM, AVL  and quantity of kit as well as offer segregated bins for both Consignment and Turnkey project materials.
