SOURCING

Technical Buying

Outsource purchasing activity to Midway Pro who offer a technical led service unlike pretty much all of our competitors. We have a global network of suppliers who we partner with to get exactly what you need, at the right quality and price.

We have extensive experience of supporting NPI / R&D activities, sourcing parts and materials to ensure your development cycle moves to plan and is not held up by lengthy supplier approval processes.

We operate as an extension of your internal purchasing team and can support any required activities from day to day purchasing, to cost reduction/PPV activity to strategic sourcing and new supplier set up. You can engage Midway Procurement on a fixed term contract to support your operation or outsource individual buying activities as/when required.

Supplier Audits

Midway Pro offer a supplier audit service for both new supplier onboarding activities and ongoing supplier management. We will audit any quality management system and will provide a full report back with executive summary and non-conformances (major/minor) and any other actions or areas of improvement. We will also manage the follow–up to ensure that audit findings are resolved and closed out in a timely manner. Supplier audits can be a time-consuming activity for an already constrained team so let Midway Procurement use our expertise in this area to add value to your supply chain management process.

Obsolescence Management

The rate of change of technology within the electronics manufacturing industry leads to an ever-increasing cadence of obsolescence of parts and components. Midway has an experienced team of experienced electronics engineers that can review your BOM and provide suggestions/alternatives that would be suitable to design into your product. We also offer a last time buy (LTB) service where we can trawl the market, locate stock and get you items at the best price to secure stock for your operation.

Procurement Process Development

Midway Pro has vast experience in developing operation processes and procedures for procurement and supply chain. We have worked within ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 across a wide spectrum of contexts, ensuring that the ISO standard requirements are met, whilst delivering an efficient process that works for you.

We will work with your key stakeholders to map out your as-is process first of all to understand the pain and waste in your system. We will then develop a new process, any new documentation (procedures, work instructions and forms) and can provide training to your staff on the new process.
