Can a Factory Actually Build Your Entire Product Portfolio?

By Managing Your Product Offerings Wisely, You Can Gain an Edge Over the Competition.

Your needs are unique. In addition to NPIs, legacy parts, prototypes, and ongoing production runs, order sizes can range from a few dozen to thousands. Is one factory capable of doing it all?

Manufacturing electronics has never been a one-size-fits-all process. Often, contract manufacturers specialize in a single type of production. Partnering with a single CM could affect some SKUs negatively. You can, however, maximize your manufacturing capabilities by working directly with a manufacturer who has access to hundreds of factory lines without adding to your manufacturing complexity. As part of this white paper, we will discuss:

  • The frustrations associated with switching manufacturing partners between prototyping and mass production
  • The best way to find a CM who has the capabilities and speed you need
  • How to handle mechanical assembly jobs
  • Tests and drop-ship services as after-production considerations
  • The benefits of working with one factory partner with multiple manufacturing lines
