My name is Keith Mitnick, and I've been working as an LCD problem solver for Phoenix display for the past few years. We are beginning to understand why customers want to switch the mode of their LCDs as a result of the myriad of design adjustments that Phoenix display has made over the course of the last ten years. These kinds of scenarios occur quite frequently, which is why we are beginning to understand why customers want to do so. I will go over with you the six reasons that are brought up the most often in discussions.
Oh, and before I forget, could you kindly excuse me in advance for any inconvenience this may cause? Because I am an engineer, I will make use of various industry terms throughout this conversation; however, your participation in this aspect of the conversation is in no way required. Taking into consideration what I've mentioned in this content is important given that you are a technician. Let's start. When contemplating the purchase of new monitors, the rate at which brand-new models are distributed should be the very first thing that comes to mind. Some of the clients who come through my office are frantic in their search for new monitors because their current suppliers are unable to deliver them in accordance with the commitments they made at the outset of the transaction. The consequences, in each and every scenario, are going to be extremely severe.
These customers have a history of dishonesty. It is common practice, when making an effort to reduce costs, to incur a significant amount of pointless expenses related to rushing things along. This can include things such as:More importantly, we were unable to live up to the commitments that we made to our customers. Not only that, but the fact that these delivery issues forced the entire organization to spend time and energy trying to find a solution to this critical issue also contributed to the fact that we were unable to live up to the commitments that we made to our customers. We have put into action a broad range of different strategies. Two things about us: first, we are experts in manufacturing who focus on parts, and second, we are in charge of manufacturing.
In addition, we are able to implement inventory management strategies tailored specifically to the needs of each individual customer, as well as modify these strategies in response to shifts in production schedules. However, the results of our research indicate that the vast majority of our customers are most enthusiastic about the prospect of working with business associates who are aware of the significance of delivery, possess the ability to quickly adapt to changes, and place the requirements of customers as their top priority. The second reason is that it is not up to date with the standards that are currently in place. It is not unheard of for you to start using components that are no longer available because your monitor has broken; this is due to the fact that it is not unusual for this to happen. However, if you are not notified or if you do not provide alternatives that are suitable to the circumstance, issues will develop. It's possible that this will lead to a situation in which people will have to stand in line while frantically looking for replacement parts that are equivalent to the ones they need. The end result is frequently a comprehensive redesign so that everyone can be accommodated.
As a consequence of this, we went ahead and devised a strategy for cross-matching. If you are interested in learning more about this strategy, please follow the link that is located on this page to access additional resources. After that, the particulars of the plan will be outlined in an email that will be sent to you. After discussing the first two reasons, let's move on to the third one, which is the quality of the product. LCD monitors are the only thing we have any real expertise in. We are aware of how to quickly react to problems with the product's quality and how to win the support of our patrons. Our customers are making a lot of effort to build a good reputation for the products they sell, and it doesn't matter if the problems are caused by monitors or not.
It is a widely held belief that lower than expected earnings will result in delivery delays. Most importantly, an on-site rejection could potentially cause damage to your reputation, particularly if your LCD partner does not respond to the rejection. In order to find a solution to this issue, we came up with the idea of developing a supply chain quality system process that would include comprehensive corrective measures. We placed a high priority on this procedure because it not only ensures that quality issues are resolved, but that they are also prevented in the event that our quality management system is implemented. We ignore the factors that contributed to the problem in the first place and instead focus on the core issue in order to find and implement a solution to it. The level of performance is the fourth component to consider.
Provide a product that is superior to those that your competitors offer, but that does not have the same inhibition appeal or face the same environmental challenges, such as extreme temperatures, sunlight, readability, or the overall appearance and feel of the product. Specifically, the product should:There are many different factors that can have an effect on an individual's performance. As a consequence of this, we initiate the design process in a manner that is congruent with the requirements of your finished product. It is absolutely necessary for us to begin the design process in accordance with the specifications of your final product, which is why I will stress the importance of this point yet again. Given that we are display specialists, it falls under our purview to direct the design process. As a result of this, we start by conducting an analysis of the application program before moving on to the process of defining the display specification.
This method ensures that we will develop the very best solution from the very beginning, and it does not require you to become an expert on LCD displays in order to use it. Customers frequently come to us for our services for a variety of reasons, one of which is to get a new design. It is possible that you will find the process intolerable if your line of work does not involve working with LCD. If LCD is not your area of expertise, skipping a step in the design process could result in delays and solutions of a lower quality if you do not know what you are doing. This is the most important consideration.
You are able to design either a standard or a custom display depending on your preferences. No matter what happens, the members of our engineering team will continue to work closely with you throughout the entirety of the design process. We are already aware of the obstacles that need to be conquered and the questions that need to be asked in order to guarantee that every stage of the process is refined to perfection. The primary contributors to cost-driven costs make up the sixth and final factor that must be taken into consideration. The so-called effectiveness of the supply chain is the most important factor to take into account, and this refers to the question of who produces monitors and who actually sells them to customers such as yourself. Because of the different distribution levels that are present between the two, the optimal structure for procurement will vary depending on the product type and quantity level that you are interested in purchasing. This is because there are differences between the two in terms of the distribution levels that are present. The second factor that must be taken into consideration is the kind of display inventory that is available.
It is in your best interest to have sufficient quantities on hand to support production in accordance with customer orders rather than to purchase the existing inventory from the dealer. Your supply chain will naturally operate at a higher level of efficiency as a natural consequence of this change. However, due to the one-of-a-kind nature of each project, this number will change depending on the project. In general, our production per order is somewhere between 5,000 and 10,000 units per year. The efficiency of the design is the third component that plays a role in determining costs. LCD displays should be designed for particular applications because there is no point in paying for features that will not be used and, as a result, there is no point in paying for those features. LCD displays should be designed for specific applications.
The degree to which LCD manufacturers can compete on a fundamental level is the single most important factor. For example, Phoenix display is solely focused on the production of LCDs that have small to medium-sized screen formats and storage capacities. Their method of production has reached its full potential. Permit me to explain what this means by stating that the facilities are very effective for the capacity, which typically ranges anywhere from 5000 to 200,000 units per year. I will begin by saying that the facilities are very effective for the capacity. We are also able to accept orders that are large enough to be delivered directly to our end users because of this range of capacity, which enables us to both customize the display and provide direct delivery to our customers. As a consequence of this, let's go back over the delivery problems we've been talking about, including the old quality, performance, and cost of the new design, and let's deal with one or more of these problems right now. In that case, we would be delighted to work with you to determine whether or not the solution that we propose is appropriate. We look forward to the opportunity.
If we are unable to provide the best solution for your project, we probably have a contact point that you can use, and you are already moving in the right direction. The information you need to get in touch with us can be found here. Utilizing the quote request form that is always available from our homepage will allow you to provide us with the specifics of your project whenever it is most convenient for you. Or, if you do not have all of the information, you can simply give us a call, and we will help you get started by asking you a few questions over the phone. This option is available even if you do not have all of the information. Simply enter your name and email address on the homepage of our website if you do not currently have an LCD project but would like to keep in touch with the LCD monitor or keep it up to date. If you would like to do either of these things, you will need to have an LCD project in the near future. After that, we will send you information that is pertinent to your situation and will help you keep up with the constantly changing information that is sent to you. As I was explaining earlier, it is possible that developing a new display design or cross-matching the LCD technology with the monitor that is currently in use will either be impossible or prohibitively expensive. I was explaining this earlier. One more time, we are available to help you complete this procedure in any way we can.
