DMC is
continually working at forging relationships with our suppliers to
establish solid and predictable supply channels. Through use of Vendor
Managed Inventory (VMI), DMC is able to reduce costs and better manage JIT
manufacturing process. Suppliers can also opt to enter into non-disclosure
agreements with DMC to be involved in the company’s research and
development efforts.
DMC has a
successful partnership with several universities to promote research in
the solar energy field. Alliances with these universities have allowed DMC
to host internship programs and promote interest in the areas of
photovoltaic storage alternatives and uses for the alternatives. DMC has
also benefited from attaining graduates that enhance the company’s
research capabilities.
DMC is also
very active in forming durable relationships with customers and
establishing long term contracts that provide for steady and consistent
production flows. DMC is following a strategy that provides mutual benefit
to retailers that agree to stock only our solar cell product lines in
their stores. Additionally, DMC is using targeted marketing techniques to
city, county, and state governments for establishing durable contracts for
use of DMC’s industrial product line that cover initial plans,
maintenance, and renewal/replacement plans. |
