Build to order  
Build to order (BTO) focuses on the transformation of parts into finished products. The production is driven by actual customer orders. The main driver of a BTO process is to accommodate flexible customer orders and requirements with the production runs to optimize allocation of orders to production infrastructure and resources. The finished products are already assigned to customer orders. They will be shipped via fast, but optimized logistics configurations to the final customers.

An inventory point can be located at the start of the manufacturing process. This inventory can be in-house at the manufacturer location or can be located at a vendor hub managed by the supplier or by IJS Global. This inventory is stand-by inventory to facilitate the start of the production run. In most cases these inventory locations are at a strategic location close to the production locations.

Testing  
Many global operating companies face the daily burden of RMA shipments to and from Europe. Full control is vital in sustaining effective and efficient RMA operations, but obtaining full control if you are not in the European time zone is almost impossible. IJS Global offers a full scale RMA program, including European warehousing and distribution services. We run your European RMA program, which has proven to be the most flexible solution for many Asian and US companies.

An essential part of inbound and RMA orders is testing. Our experience is that 70% of the returned goods arrive in good order. Many times the problem is wrong handling by the end user and/or distributor. We provide testing services in order to determine the real problem. 70% of the goods can be re-used and the remaining 30% with actual damage can be repaired, returned to origin, returned to vendor or can be scrapped. Our testing system and inspections ensure that any irregularities are reported immediately and after consulting the customer we will take action to solve the issue.
