The eSys Group is a defunct Singapore-based company that mainly produces desktop, laptop and media center computers. Unlike most of the other computer-manufacturing companies in the market, eSys aims to cater to developing countries and thus have focused their sales on a more budget-oriented target sector of computer customers. eSys used to claim it manufactured the world's cheapest PC, at only US$199.
History
In 2006, eSys was allegedly a USD 2 Billion transnational with 117 fully owned operations in 38 countries and claims it has more than 1200 employees around the globe with 30,000 business partners and more than 85,000 customers.
By 2009, eSys had closed numerous of its offices and subsidiaries and/or transfered ownership to EZY Infotech. EZY Infotech was owned by Niraj Goel, brother of eSys founder, Vikas Goel. [1][2]
Manufacturing facilities
eSys allegedly had four PC Assembly plants with Combined annual capacity of 3 Million units. These manufacturing plants were located in Singapore, Himachal Pradesh, India, Colombo, Srilanka and The Jebel Ali, UAE. eSys had also looked at setting up a Manufacturing Facility in Tashkent, Uzbekistan at one point.
Manufacturing techniques
eSys manufacturing facilities are integrated with its regional supply chain hubswith the goal of lower inventory holding costs and faster time to market. The plants have a high level of automation in manufacturing processes where Computer chips and software simulate humans to do most of the costly activities. To further cut costs down, eSys also heavily employs the implementation of Linux operating systems which are free instead of typically using Microsoft Windows.
