RapidResponse works hand-in-hand with E-plenishment, SMTC's b2b process that provides real-time and daily information exchange and transactions with suppliers.  Through E-plenishment, SMTC has an ongoing view into supplier on hand inventories and is able to more effectively plan factory capacities and provide customer delivery commitments.

The strength of RapidResponse combined with the flexibility that comes from SMTC’s E-plenishment process provides SMTC customers the ultimate in flexibility, responsiveness and liability management.  The tools allow SMTC to very directly support the ATP (Available to Promise) process of our OEM customers, and increase the reliability of their commitments to the end customers.
