Material Planning

VTech builds and distributes many different products. We also have procurement centers strategically located in Hong Kong, Japan, Europe and the USA. This allows us to serve you with our wide range of resources such as various technologies and equipment, global purchasing power, MIS and Inventory Control Systems.

Equipped with a computerized and EDI compliant MRP System, VTech's Material Planning and Production professionals roll up their sleeves right after receiving a Purchase Order from you. Our Global Procurement team will start purchasing materials according to your Bill of Materials and AVL. The Production Planning team will schedule production slots based on your build plan requirement.

We at VTech understand that ECN's (Engineering Change Notices) are a common part of any production scheme. We Believe that our computerized materials planning system allows us to better deal with this reality on a real- time basis than our competitors. From the beginning, a Material Planning professional will be assigned to your Project Team to maintain direct communication with you on on scheduling, manufacturing, technical issues and shipments. With BPCS, a VTech computerized materials management system that provides on-line inventory control, our Material Planning professional can respond quickly to ECNs and schedule changes.
