Supply Chain Management
Supply Chain Strength and Strategic Sourcing
When you partner with CO-AX, you gain access to advanced electronics manufacturing technology and an extensive supplier network that keeps your PCBA, cable assembly, and finished products/turnkey box builds on track.
Our strategic sourcing expertise and proactive tariff management help to control costs and mitigate supply chain disruptions. Every supplier in our network is rigorously vetted to meet our high standards for quality and on-time delivery.
Our robust Manufacturing Execution System (MES) provides real-time visibility into production, inventory, equipment performance, and quality metrics while providing end-to-end traceability.
We manage the supply chain for you, leveraging our expertise, technology, and global purchasing power to deliver cost-effective solutions that consistently uphold the highest standards for quality and traceability.
Traceability, Fulfillment, and Operational Efficiency
CO-AX provides complete lot and component traceability at every stage of your project, from receipt of components through assembly and shipment.
We utilize industry-leading manufacturing and component software to manage the product lifecycle and ensure the highest quality assemblies. Our proactive approach to risk mitigation includes Bill of Material (BOM) assessment, counterfeit detection, regulatory compliance monitoring, and obsolescence forecasting. Through careful labor and product yield management, we continually improve manufacturing efficiency and optimize costs.
Our warehouse management operations and inventory management practices drive operational efficiency. WMS integration and automated storage systems ensure your components are managed accurately and readily accessible for production. Customers can also enroll in our Safety Stock Program that further supports supply continuity during demand spikes or market disruptions.
Dependable logistics services are at the heart of our fulfillment process, managing everything from kitting and packaging to shipping. From seamless end-to-end fulfillment to Direct Order Fulfillment, we ensure your electronics assemblies and finished products are delivered accurately and on time, both globally and regionally.
Throughout every stage, your dedicated Customer Focus Team, including specialists in Purchasing, Documentation Control, and Program Management, is there to support you. With regular Quarterly Reviews and proactive communication, you always have clear insight into your BOM and labor costs, ensuring transparency, accountability, and peace of mind as your projects move forward.

Customer Success Stories
Just-in-Time Box Builds with Lower Order Minimums
This customer was using an overseas contract manufacturer for a turnkey box. Long lead times and large minimum order quantities of 25,000 or more slowed production and increased costs. The overseas sourced panel did not function as the customer desired, either.
CO-AX developed a prototype panel that performed precisely as required at a 60% lower cost. Lead times went to just-in-time, and the customer was able to order in flexible quantities.
Fixing DFM Issues for Aircraft Electrical Converters
This customer needed to transfer multiple legacy PCBAs to a new contract manufacturing service due to design and parts availability issues with their current supplier.
CO-AX implemented its proven Customer Onboarding Process to make the switch easier. We identified several parts obsolescence issues, re-designed the product for manufacturability, and revised the customer’s documentation. We also built duplicate functional test fixtures.
