What should electronics solutions cost me? Whether you’re an electronic OEM category manager, in manufacturing finance costing, director of new product launch or, you participate in corporate strategy decision-making evaluating electronic solutions partners, you want to know your OEM company is getting a reasonable deal when it comes to EMS pricing.
You’re not alone but to compound this there is no standardized costing for electronics solutions. So, how do you know your electronics solutions provider is not laughing all the way to the bank?
The truth is you won’t know, but some solutions providers are known to be more flexible than others with pricing and are willing to take steps like sharing supplier invoices, access to accounting team members and more to build your confidence they are managing your program with open-book costing.

To get to this level of comfort with your decision-making you source different quotes from various EMS providers and compare pricing.
