SAN FRANCISCO, March 22, 2022 — Fictiv is a manufacturing solutions company that operates a globally connected digital manufacturing ecosystem (DME) \u2013 which helps ensure high-speed delivery of on-demand custom mechanical parts to organizations looking to accelerate new product development efforts. This past week, in response to a COVID-19 related temporary lockdown in Shenzhen, China, Fictiv utilized its ecosystem failover capabilities to successfully transition its customers\u2019 affected workloads, wherever possible, into other regions of Asia and the US, to reduce or eliminate impact to customer orders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Events like these prove the power and economic impact of elastic, cloud-based manufacturing networks like Fictiv.”<\/p>– Dave Evans, Fictiv CEO & Co-founder<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEvents like these prove the power and economic impact of elastic, cloud-based manufacturing networks like Fictiv,\u201d said Dave Evans, Fictiv CEO and Co-founder. \u201cTo get products to market on time and meet financial targets, product manufacturing leaders must make a decisive shift away from legacy manufacturing workflows.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Sunday, March 13, 2022, Fictiv\u2019s \u201cboots on the ground\u201d team in Guangzhou, China was notified that Fictiv\u2019s Shenzhen-based Manufacturing Partners would be shut down until at least March 20, 2022, due to COVID-19 related government lockdown orders resulting from outbreaks in the region. As restrictions continued to spread across the Pearl River Delta, Fictiv activated its failover systems and executed procedures similar to those it implemented in January of 2020, when COVID-19-related lockdowns impacted global supply chains, to mitigate or eliminate the business impact on its customers. Jean Olivieri, Chief Operating Officer, and her team moved numerous orders to new locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf supply chain and engineering leaders are still wondering how to make meaningful progress to digitally transform their manufacturing operations, they need look no further than Fictiv.”<\/p>– Jean Olivieri, Fictiv Chief Operating Officer<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf supply chain and engineering leaders are still wondering how to make meaningful progress to digitally transform their manufacturing operations, they need look no further than Fictiv,\u201d remarked Jean Olivieri, Fictiv\u2019s Chief Operating Officer. \u201cI am proud of the speed and agility our teams and technology delivered for our customers in response to the Shenzhen disruption and am confident we are prepared for whatever comes next.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
