Few electronics OEMs want to work with EMS manufacturers where other OEM customers are leaving. For various reasons, EMS manufacturers at the bottom of any list due to EMS providers knowingly breaching contracts, exhibiting a decline in responsiveness to customer requests after signing deals, use glib communications lacking any form of critical sense, have inadequate EMS program managers void of a sense of urgency, sub-par business and EMS industry practices plus, any number of other reasons…
Knowing information about which EMS provider companies, specific EMS factories, and EMS provider corporate divisions fall into the above pits can save OEM programs, OEM careers, and possibly save your company’s future.
For example, you thought your team performed EMS manufacturing due diligence, but did you take a look at the EMS provider’s bone pile?

When evaluating and touring EMS and ODM factories, we suggest you start by asking to see the EMS factory bone pile. An inconspicuous room or location, typically off the beaten path for factory tours, where failed boards and faulty box build systems are stored.
Size of EMS bone piles can vary, but there are reasonably acceptable industry norms. Plus, peering into the provider’s bone pile offers insight into other, equally important, and yet still ill-defined, EMS manufacturing processes and procedures.
