In Part 2 of our 4-part series on outsourcing, Business Development Manager Tim Rodocker reviews ways to find your best CM match.
As we discussed in Part 1 of our outsourcing series, now might be the right time for your company to pursue higher growth by partnering with a contract manufacturer (CM) to take on specialized production work. In Part 2 of the series, we’re taking a closer look at how to find your best fit in a CM partner. A few highlights:
GAUGE STRATEGIC FIT
Does your prospective contract manufacturer offer the communication style and face-to-face contact that fosters deeper understanding? The answer is vital to meeting long-term goals.
ASSESS PRODUCTION CAPABILITIES
Dig into critical variables: does the CM have the capacity and technology to meet your volume and quality standards? Is their labor force trained and experienced?
PURCHASING, ENGINEERING, AND MORE
Ask vital support questions: Will the CM manage inventory? Can they address technical challenges? What’s the CM’s approach to team training and product testing?
