As we all know, in recent years, the factors of the epidemic have accelerated the uncertainty of the overall environment, including the superposition of multiple adverse factors such as geopolitics, the impact of the epidemic, population inflection point and consumption downgrade, and the era of high internal volume has arrived. In the face of market competition in the Red Sea everywhere, whether it is accelerating innovative research and development forces, or better integration of supply chains, or innovative restructuring of business models, manufacturing enterprises need suppliers to shorten the delivery cycle, which affects or even determines the safety inventory level, and is one of the root causes of the bullwhip effect when demand fluctuates.

Since the opening of Harting’s production plant in Zhuhai, China in 1998, more than 20 years of localized production and sales have enabled Harting China to fully serve many local customers. Today, Harting has established a national distribution center, a factory in Beijing and a regional service center for customized solutions in China, as well as a sales network in 19 cities.

In order to better respond to the current customer’s demand for shorter delivery times and meet market challenges, Harting has shortened the final product delivery time by optimizing the upstream supply chain, improving production efficiency, optimizing processes and increasing local inventory. The delivery time of major products such as heavy-duty connectors and finished network cables is reduced to 10-15 days – thereby helping customers reduce the inventory of Harting materials and reduce the capital cost of inventory, and respond more quickly to the needs of local customers for rapid delivery, and better cope with the complex and increasingly internal local market.

Over the years, Harting’s technology and products have already distinguished themselves in the rapid construction and development of many industrial sectors in China, and has always been focused on customer needs, constantly committed to bringing value to the market through innovative technology and excellent service capabilities. The announcement of a significant reduction in delivery time is an important guarantee for Harting to work with customers to solve their worries and better cope with internal volume challenges.
