诺信的供应链团队在过去几年中在定位和运输我们制造产品所需的材料方面面临着越来越复杂的挑战。 他们的专业知识和不懈努力帮助诺信度过了难关。
“就像人们希望订购家居用品和家具等商品并面临延误一样，我们的产品组件也遇到了同样的问题，" explained Dan Vassel, Director of Supply Chain Management. "As they go to restaurants and there aren't many servers, the same thing is happening at production facilities. If you go to the grocery store and you're paying more for meat, that's similar to what we're facing in the market."
正如全球贸易合规、货运和物流经理 Manda Bennett 所解释的那样，运输也是一个问题。 当港口意外关闭、航班取消或货船被困在港口时，她的团队以“寻找另一个解决方案”的心态应对挑战。
“作为一个团队，真正让我们受益的一件事是，我们在不同部门都有供应主管，我们每月举行会议进行协作，" said Bob McCory, Vice President of Supply Chain. "Every supply leader has different expertise based on their background and their business, so while we're in a division-led structure, we're still all in this together. We can still come together and support each other."
他们的跨部门合作使我们的部门保持运转。 他们最近的努力为我们的医疗流体组件和测量和控制解决方案（NDC 技术）团队赢得了关键时刻。
“对于这个群体来说，最重要的是树脂，" said Justin Hall, General Manager of the Nordson Medical Fluid Components team. "The supply of resin in the market has been extremely difficult, so we work with the supply chain team, and they help us scour the earth to find additional channels for this resin."
树脂用于生产医疗设备，包括支持疫苗生产、患者护理、COVID 患者护理、诊断和测试的产品。 没有它，我们的团队就无法向医院和医疗机构提供这些产品。 虽然树脂供应不足，但该团队已利用 NBS Next 来优先考虑哪些顶级产品首先收到它。
“我们的主要客户之一生产一次性血压袖带，" Justin added. "Days before we ran out of the materials we needed, the supply chain team found an appropriate channel and prevented that from happening, so we never shut down."
事实上，尽管树脂供应面临挑战，医用流体组件产品线去年增长显着，今年仍将继续增长。
同样，我们的 NDC 技术团队获得了寻找印刷电路板组件的支持。 当我们的供应链团队确定另一家可以以 350,000 美元的价格提供相同组件的供应商时，该团队在 24 小时内完成了成本为 750,000 美元的订单。 在诺信收购 NDC Technologies 的几天内，供应链团队帮助实现了数十万美元的节省。
NDC Technologies 还带来了新的专业知识和联系，以加强我们的供应链团队，特别是在合同制造和成型能力领域
除了分享跨职能专业知识外，我们的供应链团队还利用与供应商数十年的关系以及诺信的规模优势来完成其他公司难以下达的订单。
“我们有合作了 40 多年的供应商，" Manda said. "Rather than looking for short term relationships that yield short term gains, we keep a larger perspective because otherwise when things hit the fan, those partners might be gone. We work with partners that have proven themselves, and we look to make agreements that are mutually beneficial."
“如果您查看我们的表现并将其与同行进行比较，我们的结果不言自明，" Dan said. "We've been able to withstand the storm. We know that we're not through it, but we're seeing a light at the end of the tunnel. Hopefully we come out stronger than we could have ever imagined."
“总的来说，我们设法保持产品流动，" Bob said. "My hat's off to the team that they managed to support record growth at a time when supply chains globally were disrupted."
