Supply Chain Management

Helping businesses optimize raw material procurement, logistics, and inventory for streamlined operations.

1

Raw Material Procurement & Handling

  • Regulatory Compliance & Permits:

    • Cathode Materials: Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide (NMC), Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP), Lithium Cobalt Oxide (LCO)

    • Anode Materials: Graphite, Silicon-based anodes

    • Electrolyte: Lithium salts (e.g., LiPF6) in solvent solutions

    • Separators: Polyethylene (PE), Polypropylene (PP)

    • Current Collectors: Copper (anode), Aluminum (cathode)

  • Material Handling:

    • Temperature & Humidity Control: Prevent moisture contamination in electrolytes and electrodes.

    • Safe Storage: Solvent-based electrolytes require explosion-proof storage.

    • ESD Protection: Sensitive materials require anti-static storage & handling.

2

Logistics & Transportation

  • Inbound Logistics (Raw Materials & Equipment):

    • Vendor selection and lead time management

    • Just-In-Time (JIT) or bulk inventory stocking

    • Customs clearance & import/export compliance

  • Outbound Logistics (Finished Cells & Battery Packs):

    • Temperature-controlled shipping for lithium-ion cells

    • Compliance with UN 38.3 transport regulations for lithium batteries

    • Warehouse distribution network optimization

3

Process Commissioning & Validation

  • Warehouse & Inventory Control:

    • FIFO (First-In, First-Out) system for raw materials

    • Automated tracking using RFID & Barcode Scanners

    • Buffer stock planning to prevent production delays

  • Work-in-Progress (WIP) Inventory:

    • Monitoring drying, calendaring, electrolyte filling, and formation cycle times

    • Ensuring seamless material flow between production stages

4

Quality & Compliance Management

  • Supplier Quality Audits:

    • Ensuring raw material purity (low metal contaminants in lithium)

    • Third-party verification & material certification

  • End-to-End Traceability:

    • Batch-wise tracking of materials & finished cells

    • Ensuring compliance with ISO 9001 and ISO 14001

5

Risk Management & Contingency Planning

  • Supply Chain Risks:

    • Raw Material Shortages: Diversified supplier network to mitigate risks

    • Geopolitical Issues: Alternative sourcing strategies

    • Transportation Delays: Emergency inventory stockpile

  • Disaster Recovery Plan:

    • Backup suppliers for critical components

    • Alternative logistics routes & carriers
