Since COVID arrived three years ago, it has notably damaged the global economy. It caused a supply chain crisis and cost increases,and Varex was forced to face the same challenges as well. Varex management responded by adjusting strategy, promoting global value chain for Varex units, and fostering a local-for-global and global-for-local mindset.

The Varex Wuxi plant in China collaborated closely with the SLC Engineering and Purchasing teams on new vendor development and supply chain optimization to achieve cost effectiveness and on-time delivery. Meanwhile, the management team at the Wuxi plant focused on servicing the Medical Sources solution line in particular, making processes faster and more efficient.

2022 was a year of collaborative achievement, marked by big progress on projects related to inserts of Sources products through joint efforts of SLC lead Jason Davies and the Wuxi Sources team lead Hoyt Shan. Below is an overview of two accomplishments of this global collaboration.

Goal:Promote technology development and innovation to reduce risks of the supply chain.

Challenge: Targets installed in insert manufacturing were stalled until samples were delivered . It had been a difficult year due to material shortages, delivery problems, and a factory shut down.

Solution: Wuxi developed a new vendor, KENI that supplies targets -critical parts with high technical requirements, which also have barriers to manufacturing because of raw materials and process complexities. Prototypes were made successfully under close collaboration between the Varex team and KENI and CMT Rare Metal Advanced Materials （Hunan）Co., Ltd. located in Hunan, China.

This is a Win-Win for both Varex and the Chinese industry. Varex gets a stable supply chain and production capacity that won’t be limited by a single source vendor. And it’s a technical breakthrough and industry development for the Chinese supplier.

全球本地供應(yīng)商在無錫的合作

自從三年前新冠疫情爆發(fā)以來，它對全球經(jīng)濟(jì)造成了明顯的損害。這導(dǎo)致了供應(yīng)鏈危機和成本增加，萬睿視（Varex）也被迫面臨同樣的挑戰(zhàn)。萬睿視管理層應(yīng)對的辦法是調(diào)整戰(zhàn)略、提升萬睿視部門的全球價值鏈，以及培養(yǎng)“本地為全球和全球為本地”的觀念。

萬睿視在中國的無錫工廠與SLC工程和采購團(tuán)隊在開發(fā)新供應(yīng)商和優(yōu)化供應(yīng)鏈方面密切合作，以實現(xiàn)成本效益和準(zhǔn)時交貨。同時，無錫工廠的管理團(tuán)隊專注于為醫(yī)療貨源解決方案行業(yè)提供服務(wù)，使流程更快、更高效。

2022年是合作取得成就的一年，通過SLC主管Jason Davies和無錫貨源供應(yīng)團(tuán)隊主管Hoyt Shan的共同努力，貨源供應(yīng)團(tuán)隊產(chǎn)品相關(guān)部件的項目取得了巨大進(jìn)展。以下概述了這一全球合作的兩項成就。

目標(biāo)：

促進(jìn)技術(shù)開發(fā)和創(chuàng)新，降低供應(yīng)鏈風(fēng)險。

挑戰(zhàn)：

在交付樣品之前，插入件制造中安裝的靶材被擱置。由于材料短缺、交貨問題和工廠停工等原因，今年是十分艱難的一年。

解決方案：

無錫工廠開發(fā)了一家新的供應(yīng)商，即KENI公司，該供應(yīng)商提供靶材——具有高技術(shù)要求的關(guān)鍵零部件，由于原材料和工藝復(fù)雜性，在制造這些零部件時也存在障礙。在萬睿視團(tuán)隊與KENI和位于中國湖南的中鎢高新稀有金屬新材料（湖南）有限公司的密切合作下，成功制作了原型。

這次合作是萬睿視和中國企業(yè)的一次雙贏。萬睿視擁有了穩(wěn)定的供應(yīng)鏈和生產(chǎn)能力，將不會受到單一供應(yīng)商的限制。這也是中國供應(yīng)商的一次技術(shù)突破和行業(yè)發(fā)展。
