Introduction<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Vietnam’s manufacturing industry is currently undergoing an unprecedented period of transformation. While showing strong recovery, such as an 8.4% rise in the Industrial Production Index (IIP) for 2024 compared to the previous year, the procurement dilemma at the factory floor is worsening: “We cannot get the necessary parts, at the necessary time, with the necessary quality.” Specifically, the local procurement of high-quality screws and fastening components, which are indispensable for automated lines and precision equipment, is a headache for many Japanese companies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

This article analyzes the supply chain challenges faced by the Vietnamese manufacturing industry based on quantitative data and explains the unique integrated procurement solution\u2014”Manufacturing, Wholesale, and MRO” offered by Ohta Vietnam. Let’s explore the “best practices for procurement” together to achieve both cost reduction and stable quality.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Current Status and Challenges of Procurement in Vietnam’s Manufacturing Industry<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Accelerating Market Expansion and the Wall of Local Procurement<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Vietnam continues to attract investment from around the world as a prime candidate for “China Plus One.” The realized Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) for 2024 reached a record high of 25.35 billion USD, with approximately 78% concentrated in the processing and manufacturing sector. However, despite the rapid growth of the industry, the supporting industries remain under development.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

According to a JETRO survey, approximately 39.3% of Japanese companies in Vietnam plan to expand local procurement within the next 1-2 years, but the local procurement rate still has room for improvement. Particularly for “fastening components (bolts, nuts, screws)” that require high precision, the variation in quality among local suppliers and the insufficient ability to handle custom-made products become bottlenecks, leading to many cases where companies are forced to rely on imports from Japan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The New Challenge of ‘High-Mix Low-Volume’<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
\n

In recent years, accompanying the shortening of product cycles, the need for “High-Mix Low-Volume” procurement, not only for mass-produced parts but also for prototypes and maintenance parts, has surged. However, typical Vietnamese suppliers tend to favor mass production (mass production), often responding to small-lot orders with “refusal to quote” or “high minimum order quantities (MOQ).” This is a significant factor contributing to the exhaustion of factory procurement managers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Ohta Vietnam’s Proposed Hybrid Procurement Model<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n

In response to this dual challenge of “quality” and “small lots,” Ohta Vietnam presents a unique solution that fuses trading company functions and manufacturer functions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

1. Fusion of ‘Making’ and ‘Finding’<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Ohta Vietnam’s greatest feature is that it is not merely a wholesaler. The company owns precision machining equipment in its own factory, allowing it to manufacture precision cut components made of metal and resin in-house.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
