Venture Outsource creates industry-leading and accurate costing modelers for electronics OEM (brand owner) manufacturers outsourcing their electronics equipment program design and manufacturing to providers of contract electronics services. This white paper reveals helpful information and answers to the above questions, and others, such as, how can equipment manufacturers build costing modelers to effectively compare quotes from various providers? What features and functions should our costing modeler have, and how can we use costing modelers to identify risks, and opportunities for better pricing and cost reductions?
The amount of time it takes for electronics manufacturers to build 'effective' costing modelers for their outsourcing programs depends on the level of internal expertise, and experience sourcing and pricing and managing costs tied to electronics outsourcing programs plus, understanding internal contract electronics operations and business finance across various contract electronics business models available to OEM manufacturing teams tasked with building costing modelers.
The reality is, because most manufacturing enterprises do not have a single internal source with a comprehensive base of knowledge and experience from which to draw from, contributions and input is needed from several departments and the number of staff required from each department can vary depending on the size of the electronics manufacturing organization, industry products produced and markets served.
This white paper provides outsourcing program insights, and suggests goals and objectives, with examples, for OEM manufacturers when creating standalone costing modelers that create real, actionable leverage when contracting electronics design, manufacturing and supply chain services with their contract electronics solutions providers.
Upon reading this white paper, below are just a few of the actionable suggestions electronics OEM equipment manufacturers, with adequate contract electronics industry experience and resources - plus access to the right industry intelligence - should have enough knowledge to assemble an internal team capable of building a costing modeler that can perform the following:
- Identify OEM departments to be included on costing modeler team
- Identify titles, roles and responsibilities in each department
- Assign goals and objectives to each OEM department
- Identify deliverables assigned to each role and responsibility in each department
- and, many more
