Supply Chain Management

KMC Systems has access to a world-class supplier base through Elbit Systems of America. Our network of suppliers gives our customers the competitive advantage by reducing lead times for products and spare parts. A dedicated team of buyers/planners uses “Lean principles” and the latest Oracle ERP system to deliver products to market on time and on budget.

In addition, our buyers/planner regularly works with our Quality Assurance department to constantly update and maintain our Approved Suppliers List (ASL). At KMC Systems, we work to develop a list of customer-approved suppliers for each program. In cases which an approved supplier is not available to meet specified requirements, new suppliers are added, based on rigorous screening. 

For depot repair, the team relies on a segregated inventory location for quick turn-around, and our logistics department provides global delivery directly to wherever a customer desires.
