Sécuriser et pérenniser la production - LACROIX

Securing and sustaining production

 
Long-term production depends on rigorous management of component obsolescence and an effective sourcing strategy.

At LACROIX, we deploy innovative solutions to anticipate risks and guarantee fluid, resilient and optimised manufacturing.

 


A customised supply chain strategy

Because each customer is unique, we propose a tailored strategy based on our skills in customer relations, planning, scheduling, procurement, flow management and after-sales service. Our teams, organized by customer and located at each production site, ensure close communication and rapid decision-making.


Our 4 pillars for sustainable production

1- Anticipating and reducing supply risks

We manage an Industrial and Sales Plan via an ERP shared by all our plants (SAP), enabling us to adjust production according to the availability of materials. Our actions include :

  • Monitoring supply lead times and managing obsolescence
  • Customized risk analysis for each project
  • Crisis unit to search for critical components
  • Zero tolerance on counterfeits

2- Guaranteeing flexibility

Our customized logistics solutions enable us to respond to variations in demand while guaranteeing optimum lead times:

  • MRP strategy (make-to-order, make-to-stock, late differentiation)
  • Just-in-time procurement for reduced inventory and optimum responsiveness
  • Safety stock with advanced management models such as Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) and Customer Managed Inventory (CMI)
  • Use of Kanban at all levels of the supply chain

3- Improving responsiveness

Our Time-to-Market strategy guarantees rapid decisions based on real-time analysis of stocks and resources:

  • Integrated ERP connected to the market availability of components
  • EDI and Web EDI facilitating the exchange of information with our customers and suppliers
  • Customer portal and analytics tools for total supply chain visibility
