In an increasingly complex and highly "rat race" era, Harting China has announced a reduction in local product delivery times, primarily for commonly used heavy-duty connectors and finished Ethernet cables, to 10-15 days, with the shortest delivery option even as quick as 5 days.
As is widely known, in recent years, factors such as the COVID-19 have accelerated the overall environment's uncertainty, including geopolitical issues, pandemic effects, demographic inflection points, and consumer downgrading, among other unfavorable factors, contributing to the highly insular nature of our times. Faced with intensely competitive markets at every turn, manufacturing companies urgently require suppliers to shorten delivery cycles. This not only affects safety stock levels but is also one of the root causes of the bullwhip effect during demand fluctuations.
Since opening its production facility in Zhuhai, China in 1998, Harting has been serving a multitude of local customers over more than 20 years of localized production and sales. Today, Harting has established national distribution centers, a factory in Beijing, a customized solutions regional service center, and a sales network spanning 19 cities across China.
To better meet current customer demands for shorter delivery times and address market challenges, Harting has optimized its upstream supply chain, improved production efficiency, streamlined processes, and increased local inventory, among other measures. These efforts have resulted in a reduction in the delivery times of major supply products, such as heavy-duty connectors and finished Ethernet cables, to 10-15 days. This enables customers to reduce their inventory of Harting materials, lower inventory holding costs, and respond more quickly to the demand for rapid local delivery. It also helps to better navigate the increasingly complex, evolving, and inward-focused local market.
Over the years, Harting's technology and products have excelled in China's rapid industrial development across various sectors, always focusing on customer needs and consistently striving to bring value to the market through innovative technology and outstanding service capabilities. This significant reduction in delivery times, as announced, is a crucial commitment from Harting to work alongside its customers, addressing concerns and serving as a vital safeguard against the challenges of an inward-focused environment.
