Economic Development bureau to encourage local creative, innovative entrepreneurs can dare to venture from beginning of October last year launched a "start-Development Plan" (SEEDS), to allow these just sprout, unremarkable, while the financing channels but is very narrow-minded businesses, access to the funds being founded the earliest.

Economic Development Board to achieve the standard start-up companies, as long as third-party access to private corporate investors can receive the Economic Development Board to invest in the proportion of one to one, then the maximum limit of 300,000 yuan. So far, Economic Development Bureau has announced two batches of start-list of companies that will benefit up to 20.

To enhance understanding of the market for these companies, while venture capitalists attracted the interest of this newspaper visited a number of start-up companies, these interviews will be launched in the edition.

When consumers for cell phones faster rate than for shoes, we know that electronics and telecommunications markets, consumer behavior is changing, and the manufacturer's production methods, is also undergoing a major revolution. Consumers continue to demand fast, novelty and thin, seeking light results, producers have had to move fast, efficient, inexpensive, complex production targets to promote.

Unique software to obtain favor of the Economic Development Board

As a result, the last century 80's unheard of OEM contract manufacturing, electronics manufacturing has become an important landscape. At the same time, production of low-cost electronics manufacturing Shang regional migration, like the nomads by grass door phenomenon, almost inexorable law of this industry.

Just set up in May last year, specifically designed for e-business e-Foundry (e-sourcing) software system Cusdex companies, electronics manufacturers is to take into account the various constraints faced by, for business co-ordinate the complex mode of production, management, dissemination of throughout the production facility, drive down production costs, find the best component suppliers and contract manufacturers and other objectives, to find a solution.

With its unique software, the company in February this year, was included in the Economic Development Board, "start-Development Plan" (SEEDS) list, access to the Economic Development Board investment.

Cusdex managing director Chen Liyi in an interview that the company's products, mainly medium-sized electronics contract manufacturers as the target. It takes into account electronic product cycles, product regime change fast, its production complex, factors such as production bases spread the hope that the software functions, for the producers to resolve the various aspects of the problem, thereby enhancing efficiency.

The production cost savings of 3% of the

He said: "Contract manufacturers need highly efficient software system in which all the data input. For one thing they want to, and component suppliers to share information, and joint production, and secondly, is to enable customers to understand from this system to the production and progress, to achieve good communication with each other and establish mutual trust. "

In fact, the contract manufacturer's profits generally paltry 1-2%, therefore, how to procurement savings, the key is to keep their production costs, but also a direct impact on earnings potential. He believed that through the company's software, manufacturers will be able to save about 3% of the cost. This is a huge value in terms of electronics manufacturers, is likely to be a substantial amount.

However, the best combination of components, production and matching, sometimes it is not simply depending on prices. Chen Liyi that because producers may face a minimum order quantity, payment method, product quality, delivery time constraints, therefore, the need to consider factors may be very complex, and this is the time when the software to be effective.

Chen Liyi produced by their own professional software of course, confidence. First of all, the company's products into the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed the advanced computer technology, can be set within the context of rapid and simultaneous consider a range of price and non-price factors, and propose the best options for Merchant reference.

Secondly, the software on the one hand drawing on the experience of global high-tech purchasing managers crystallization of the other hand, a combination of market research results. At the same time, the product will also be the user's various proposals into account. Therefore, it is in order to provide customers with an optimal procurement model.

Although the company was established less than a year, but its products have been sold to the market. Currently, its largest customer is Sony (Sony) companies. The Japanese electronics giant, has passed the completion of Cusdex software worth 400 million U.S. dollars (about 700 million 40 million U.S. dollars) directly to parts transactions.

Chen Liyi said the company's future plans, is the second half of this year, will introduce the software into the Chinese market. Based on the current number of contract manufacturers have moved their production bases to China, he believed that this software should be welcomed by the market.

He said: "Electronic contract manufacturers in the product cycle to catch up to strive for profitability does not relax, because in high-tech field, only the strong can survive."
