Operations & Technology

Lytica has a solid team with the technical, operational and business expertise to complement your in-house resources. Lytica services support products from NPI through the full product lifecycle. Our focus is on security of supply and reducing product cost. We design supply chains to be robust, agile and responsive.

Operations management

For small and medium size companies, we deliver operations support - working seamlessly with your organization.

Many small companies struggle with the complexities of getting product to market because they often lack the necessary internal expertise. Lytica provides this expertise to enable the execution of cost effective operations and successful new product launches.
Larger organizations outsource many operations management roles to Lytica allowing internal resources to be for higher priority tasks. Examples are commodity management, price negotiation and component engineering.

Performance benchmarking

Our seasoned team will assess, audit and report on your operational performance and suggest improvements and metrics to streamline and maintain your effectiveness and reduce cost. This includes an analysis of your support tools and data management systems.

Sourcing

Assessment, selection and qualification of suppliers and manufacturers and their products are key elements of a proper supply base design. Whether at the component or assembly level, making the right vendor choices will impact your company for years to come. It’s critical to have assurance that your supply chain is made up of companies that share your values, comply with your requirements and have the ‘right stuff’ to make you succeed. Your products need components that work and are available day after day, month after month and year after year.  

Lytica’s VendorAssessments products and services are designed to provide these assurances and build supply chain strength. You don`t need to live with high risk suppliers!

Cost management

By leveraging our extensive component and cost database, the Lytica team is able to quickly analyze a bill of materials at the component level and do a full estimate of a product’s manufacturing cost globally. Lytica also provides negotiation services to deliver cost reduction and enhance your overall competitiveness.

Component data management

Most companies struggle with the quality and integrity of their component data. Poor data management causes new products to be designed with end of life components; like components get coded many times; manufacturer`s names change and vendor lists get contaminated with too many suppliers supplying very little. Often too many components are unnecessarily single sourced or have weak or non-cost effective alternatives. Many companies need help with component data management. It is a priority that never makes it to the top of the list and companies suffer the consequences.

Lytica offers component engineering services to clean up this data and eliminate exposure to poor sourcing choice vulnerability.

Design Analysis and Cost reduction

The Lytica technical team can assess electronic products for improvement opportunities and provide business case justification for action. Design cost reduction is an effective method of improving product margins and extending product life. Electrical, mechanical and plastics redesign can not only reduce cost but eliminate chronic supply chain constraints that have limited your performance. Let Lytica assess and manage your redesign or technology refresh.
