Finding manufacturing ‘should cost’ and lowest total cost of ownership (TCO) versus piece part pricing for OEM equipment manufacturers requires intimate knowledge of EMS manufacturing and ODM provider internal costs. Add to this, the various geographies and currency rates while trying to compare piece part prices through to total landed costs can be a nightmare for any quote team.
EMS manufacturers and ODM providers pad their quotes, thinking they are quantifying your pricing, but its been my experience EMS and ODM firms do not properly measure internal costs.
