The ventureoutsource.com site contains a lot of information for electronic original equipment manufacturer (OEM) brand name companies tasked with formulating and executing strategy and plans-of-action for contract electronics manufacturing services (EMS) supply chains. One pain point we hear is; “We have lots of resources, but we want to make sure we use them effectively.” Other common pain points include IP and EMS program pricing constraints and related concerns.
Based on the above, discussions typically turn to OEMs wanting Venture Outsource to propose at least two engagement styles:
I. Advisory to define EMS routes for OEMs
- Targeting EMS companies given OEM current status and objectives and constraints
- Embellishing and vetting EMS provider specs and request-for-information (RFI), request-for-proposal (RFP) documentation
- Providing input on priorities and setting up the give/take priorities to meet the timelines desired by OEM
- Providing maps to key EMS partners that fit OEM objectives and constraints
- Making EMS provider introductions followed by helping OEMs establish relationships
II. Advisory to define and build EMS routes for OEMs
- All of the Above, plus
- Help drive RFI/RFP process to closure (assess EMS quoted pricing, formulate OEM responses, identify and fill-in gaps…)
- Help drive contract agreement negotiations process including key asks/gives, clauses and pressure points, responses, supporting strategy…
- Help define OEM operational plans to implement EMS relationships successfully
