How to select a manufacturing supplier

2019-08-01

Working with contract manufacturers is a relationship that is usually compared to marriage.

In both cases, finding the right match is the key to happiness. As with marriage, experts suggest that attention is given to compatibility between the next walkway with the manufacturing supplier.

Search for the right match should focus on finding a good supplier with your product and its position on the market. Manufacturing processes, capacity, standards, turnaround time and cost should meet your needs.

Before you can crash with the contract manufacturer, you can consider projecting internally. Prototype or short-term production may be applicable to companies with internal research and development laboratories or small shops with desktop or industrial 3D printers, CNC milling machines or injection molding machines. Internal stores are convenient, but they may produce more complex parts, usually with limited capacity, so they become backlog and have limited material selection.

In order to overcome these challenges, the ideal partner may be a service department, a knowledgeable manufacturing provider, with a full range of services. The best service department will work with the design and prototyping project throughout the life cycle of your product to engineering and on-demand production.
