2. Sanmina-SCI Projects
1/1
Logistics Agreement with automotive customer
Valeo
Period: 06/2004 – 09/2004
Place: Sanmina-SCI, Tatabánya Plant
Target: Prepare drafted version of Logistics Agreement (materials mgmt parts)
Tasks completed:
- forecasting methods, calls, call frequencies, call methods
- order confirmation process details
- flexibility corridor, firm periods, safety stocks
- transport and delivery frequency, HUB
- packaging and labelling requirements
Result: an approved Logistics Agreement
Financially approved saving: n/a

3. Elcoteq Projects 1/7
WIP inventory optimisation project
Period: 01/2005 – 06/2005
Place: ELQ Pécs, Finn Plant Operations
Target: Reduce WIP inventory value from 4MEUR to 2MEUR
Tasks completed:
Finn Inventory Valuation report review, Consumption-Declaration and Stock-Flow Difference
Analyses
Ownership Change in SRO process and continuous kanban level update according to customer
requirements
Demand-specific production planning methods (high variance in demand: make to order, low
variance in demand: kanban) in order to optimize semi-finished and finished goods buffer in
production area
Result: 1,5MEUR (=37%) inventory reduction in production area
Financially approved saving: 140 kEUR

4. Elcoteq Projects 2/7
Inventory Accuracy improvement project
Period: 08/2005 – 05/2006
Place: ELQ Pécs, Finn and Cserkut Plant Operations, Product Line 9
Target: Eliminate WIP stock inaccuracy of approx -1MEUR (Q2 2005 stocktake result)
Tasks completed: All events related to material flow were reviewed and poke-yoke processes and
systems were established in order to control the real-time transactions in Baan ERP.
- introduced real time SFG / FG reporting for accurate backflushing
- eliminate pBOM errors in order to make sure that backflushed qties are equivalent to the
physically consumed amounts,
- release automatic SMT machinery loss report in order to make attritions visible and transactable,
- separate rework and normal flow physically as well as in Baan ERP
- daily material review board (MRB) and scrap transactions implemented
- checking point between warehouse and production established in order to control material
movements
Result: Q2 2006 stocktake result was less than -20kEUR
Financially approved saving: 555 kEUR

5. Elcoteq Projects 3/7
Inventory Accuracy subprojects
Period: 2004 – continuously
Place: ELQ Pécs BU, various product lines
Target: Achieve sustainable inventory accuracy in shop-floor related warehouses
PTH – HANDASSY
Supplier WH SMT WH
(reworks)

10 FGs back to production
Supplier label qty is -Separation in Baan
wrong, physical qty to Avoid double FG from normal production
production not match SMT machinery loss backflush -Avoid double backflush
with Baan ERP qty booking
Handassy component Separate repair loop
scrap booking, daily SFGs from normal
MRB meeting production in Baan ERP
FG backflush
-Good part number
-Good quantity
SMT backflush
Picking from WH -Good part number Book material
control: Checkpoint -Good quantity consumption during
established, using SFG – FG scrap repair-rework processes
Security people booking
12 BOM controlling: BOM usage quantity must match with physical usage quantity

6. Elcoteq Projects 4/7
Kitting project 1 - CNE production
Period: 08/2006 – 03/2007
Place: ELQ Pécs, Finn Plant Operations, Product Line 11
Targets:
1. Create WIP inventory replenishment system, where complexity of product mix and variety of
components is high
2. Increase productivity in order to switch back from 4-shift model to three,
3. 100% control on all material-related events.
Inventory Control Effect –
By dedicating a kitting area as a supermarket-warehouse on the shop floor, where all raw materials
were going to be stored, production logistics team were easily able to control material flow by
preparing kits based on Baan ERP BOMs (BOM accuracy control), using piece picking concept (scrap
& special consumption control), and were able to distinguish the materials stored at kitting and the
ones allocated on the shop floor (cycle count control)
Through-put-time Effect –
Production is now able to focus exclusively on manufacturing activities ie manufacturing team has
nothing to do but to assemble the products by consuming the materials released by kitting team. No
more need for material hunting, integration of pre-packaging & label printing activity, and FPO
process implementation guarantees that production can complete the plan more productively, ie
processing lead time is estimated to decrease significantly.
Results:
- 43 people saving in blue-collar HC
- 160 squaremeter saving in material shelf space
- 48kEUR saving in Materials Scrap and Loss
Financially approved saving: 430 kEUR

Period: 09/2007 – 11/2007
Place: ELQ Shenzhen Plant, Guangdong, People’s Republic of China
Target: Set up and train production logistics department, introduction of fundamental
systems and processes
Tasks completed:
- dedicate material controllers, schedulers reporting to production logistics manager
- simplify BOM structures in corporate system (from 5-6 subassy level to 2)
- dedicate team to manage backflush and other Baan ERP transactions real-time
- introduce kanban system for raw material replenishment between WH and SMT machines
- train internal stakeholders about replenishment systems, inventory accuracy subprojects and
reporting from system
Result: common understanding about responsibility areas, more effective support for manufacturing
and purchasing team
Saving realized: n/a
