Whether you adopt our proven contract templates or tailor SLAs from EMS providers, our guidance draws on decades of deep industry insight—focusing on true best practices, not just common ones.We empower your team with precise, actionable intelligence across every cost driver:

• Materials forecasting & PO management
• Procurement caps, inventory liability, and threshold triggers
• Aggressive initial + ongoing cost-reduction targets
• Optimized ECO cut-in timing
• Lead-time transparency, capacity planning, and QBR reporting
• Shipment scheduling, change limits, and associated fees
• PO variance tracking and cost recovery
• EMS pricing breakdowns—including should-cost models, global landed-cost benchmarks, and outsourced manufacturing TCO

By decoding how EMS factories apply activity-based costing and price aggregation in the RFQ phase, we isolate PPV leakage, slash material costs, negotiate out testing fees, and drive down total quotes.

Negotiation support your way: shadow advisor or front-line facilitator – we deliver the leverage you need, discreetly and decisively.
