PCB Inventory Management
Reduce lead times, lower costs, & ensure availability with our PCB stocking program
Keep production on track with ETEMCO
Our expert team utilizes our ERP System to manage your product inventory via our efficient stocking program. We work with you to set safety stock and production order quantities so that we can proactively monitor inventory levels to prevent stock-outs, minimize downtime, and save you money.
Prevent component shortages
Material shortages and stock-outs can kill production efficiency for both you and us. With our advanced MRP system, we effectively manage our supply chain and stay ahead of demand so we can deliver what you need, when you need it.
Reduce lead times with pre-stock
We make sure vital materials and components are on hand when you need them. By maintaining a well-organized stock of supplies, we eliminate delays and keep your production process running smoothly. This way, you’re able to meet tight deadlines and boost overall efficiency.
Secure pricing against market fluctuations
Lock in pricing to combat market variations so you don’t have to worry about unexpected price hikes. With our smart inventory management and strong supplier relationships, we help keep your costs steady so you can focus on what matters without the stress of price changes.
Release inventory based on demand
Adjust inventory levels according to demand to keep your stock in line with what your customers need. By closely tracking customer demand and tweaking inventory levels accordingly, we help you avoid wasting space and excess inventory. This means lower storage costs, faster turnaround times, and a better ability to fulfill orders right when customers want them.
Just-in-time (JIT) inventory — Get PCBs when you need them
Flexible inventory solutions
The strategy we’ve found most efficient is only to stock what’s needed for immediate demand, minimizing storage costs and improving cash flow. We don’t stockpile products and ensure that inventory stays lean, which lets us quickly adapt to customer needs without tying up resources in excess stock.

How our stocking program works
Assess inventory needs & forecasted demand
We start by evaluating your current inventory levels, production schedules, and customer demand trends. By looking at data from previous months and predicting future needs, we’ll make sure things align with upcoming demand, preventing both overstocking and stock-outs.
Establish a stocking agreement based on your usage
We collaborate with you to create an individualized stocking agreement that reflects your specific usage patterns and business needs. Following this technique means that the right amount of inventory is available to meet demand while also providing flexibility to adjust as your usage changes over time.
ETEMCO stocks & manages your PCB assemblies or components
With our stocking program, you have the flexibility to receive your materials exactly when you need them. With scheduled releases, you’ll get a steady supply of components at regular intervals, while our JIT fulfillment allows you to avoid overstocking by delivering inventory only when your demand requires it.
