Component Sourcing and Cost Reduction

GRT-Mars has an organized and concerted effort to offer our customers continuous cost improvement. Electronics is a rapidly advancing field, and with that there are always opportunities to take advantage of new components and techniques, as well as opportunities to take advantage of price reductions on older components as they become more mature.

Our engineers regularly evaluate all of the products we manufacture to push for potential cost reductions. These options are then presented to our customers for their evaluation, and if they are acceptable they are integrated into the product and prices reduced.

These changes can include improving manufacturing techniques, looking at alternate materials, aggressively sourcing from multiple vendors, combining purchases of common components with other vendors, reclassifying products to reduce import duties, and consolidating shipments to reduce freight charges.

It is difficult to find new customers. So it is at the core of our strategy to bend over backwards to give exceptional service and, most importantly, value.





GRT-MARS was first certified ISO 9000 in May 2001by SGS, a leading international ISO consulting and audit firm. In August 2003, we received ISO 9001:2000 certification. By earning ISO 9001:2000 certification, GRT-MARS affirms its commitment to a quality management system dedicated to delivering services of consistently high quality — quality that is paramount — to our many, varied clients with global interests.
