Future Electronics and President Robert Miller Host Strategic Supply Chain Solutions Conference

Leave a comment

Pointe Claire, Quebec (realtimepressrelease) May 20, 2016 – Future Electronics, a global leading distributor of electronic components founded in 1968 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada by Robert Miller, hosted a Strategic Supply Chain Solutions conference at the company’s worldwide corporate headquarters in Montreal from April 11-15, 2016.

The conference focused on discussing the biggest issues facing customers today and in future, and determining the right solutions to help them. The Future Electronics team, under the leadership of the company’s President, Robert Miller, understands that many customers’ challenges stem from market condition changes. In addition, costs are rising in many regions; China was once considered low cost, but with a strong economy come higher wages. Labor costs are rising, fuel costs have changed, and companies are rethinking their supply chain needs

Another main area of concern for many companies is visibility into their supply chain. For companies who outsource, they want to have assurance that their manufacturing partner has the right supply chain set up, that it’s repeatable. Interruptions are driving the need for greater visibility. Things like earthquakes or fires cannot be anticipated, which makes supply chain security that much more critical.

Tom Galligani, Vice President of FIRST and Supply Chain Solutions for Future Electronics, explains, “Future Electronics’ expert supply chain team is in a great position to mitigate interruptions, by understanding crucial factors such as the location of the semiconductor fabs, and taking into account various considerations including single production or multi production, lead-times, manufacturing capacity, part classification, common vs. non-standard.”

Galligani continued, “Future Electronics places a lot of emphasis on understanding the customer’s manufacturing rhythm, buying patterns, factory locations, and transportation lead times. With proven experience and knowledge on both the supply side and demand side, we are able to consistently achieve an incredible 99.5% on-time delivery rate to our customers – the highest in the industry.”

President Robert Miller and Future Electronics Support “Stretching For Health” Initiative

Leave a comment

Pointe Claire, Quebec (realtimepressrelease) May 12, 2016 – Future Electronics, a global leading distributor of electronic components founded in Montreal, Quebec, Canada in 1968 by Robert Miller, places a strong focus on the health and well-being of the company’s employees.

One example of a health-related initiative at Future Electronics‘ Montreal Headquarters is “Stretching for Health.” This program started when the Strategic Business Development Unit team members were encouraged by a nurse in the company’s on-site Medical Center to do stretching during the day in order to avoid muscle stiffness that often results from long periods of sitting.

The group decided to begin by doing stretches together every morning and every afternoon. Within just two months, team members started to notice results and felt better. They are now spreading the word and encouraging other departments to implement regular group stretching activities. The President of Future Electronics, Robert Miller, is health-conscious and encourages employees to live healthy lifestyles.
