Weekly AI Briefing
Strategic sourcing is on plan, but resin supplier concentration on a single Korean petrochemical for CPI / Toyoplas is the silent number to watch.
We secured RM 8.2M in negotiated savings YTD across resin, kraft paper and metal feedstock for MDS Advance, ahead of plan. 62% of PP volume sits with a single Korean petrochemical, and AI credit feeds are flagging mild stress on a Tier-2 colorant supplier in Johor.
Qualifying a second resin source in Singapore and rotating 25% of PP volume should take 75 days and meaningfully reduces single-vendor exposure before the FY25 multimedia ramp.
