Many people feel strange, why the procurement of electronic components can not directly find the original factory or agents can purchase, plus some directory network website, or can not meet the needs
of the procurement of components. Here is the role of traders in the supply chain of electronic components. If there would be no changes in the trader components market?
Where are the traders in the supply chain?
From the normal logic of the chip is such a supply chain, the original manufacturing components authorized to regular agents to sell to end users, the chain is clear and clear, why can there be traders and
all kinds of distributors in the middle? Why make a difference for their middlemen?
We assume that if this supply chain can meet the demand of components, it must meet the following conditions. The end buyer has sufficient funds and the demand is stable and predictable, the agent can
make production plans for the original factory according to the demand of the end, and can deliver the goods on schedule, and the end buyer can pick up the goods as scheduled.
But what is the reality? When the end buyer does not have enough funds to buy components, or the regular production order is unstable, the demand is small, one of the variables will lead to the supply chain
imbalance, and it is a serious imbalance.
Traders appeared at this time, they took out the money, advance to the agent original order, do inventory, established the warehouse to solve the logistics, spot supply to terminal buyers, save the time cost of
the terminal buyers, and also can provide lending, solve the funding problem of and, most importantly, can provide small diverse supply, small more order is often the agent reluctant to touch the demand.
Traders who have more money have appeared to solve this demand.
If there are no traders in the chip supply chain?
As mentioned above, if there are no traders, small and medium-sized end buyers without funds may not be able to buy goods, long tail demand no one service, the time cost of goods period is too high, the
product can not be delivered on time and other supply chain imbalance will seriously affect the manufacturing industry.
In the cloud era, some people say that the long tail demand with more quantity and small things can be turned into small and large through data integration. The problem of capital can be solved by financial
means, and the demand can be predicted by big data analysis. May be the future is, but for now, traders in the role of the supply chain is indispensable, in the river's lake, have speculative speculators ups and
downs in the market, also have honest duty do a few brands, more fearless xing bitter service of small and medium-sized demand, blame and honor, in the development of science and technology in this era,
bear the indispensable role.
