Nevertheless, it has some relevant shortcomings, one is the not highlighting more the crucial importance of collaboration of the company with internal and external parties, such as vendors, suppliers and service providers, domestically and international and throughout the entire supply chain. Only through and intense collaboration, results outside the ordinary can be achieved with very significant cost reductions involved.

FLEX is not likely going to work with a $5M distributor (unless it has obsolete or allocated parts nobody else has), geographic proximity, ability to communicated effectively with component engineers and board/product design engineers (and understand the issues they both face).<br /> <br /> You can also build relations with your OEM component manufacturers.<br /> <br /> Understand their product/component strengths to then help suggest alernatives to EMS providers. This provides value to EMS providers seeking correct product purchases for their OEM customers while also helping the component OEM maker win acceptance into a product design.

Apple execs may not like it, but consumers will greatly benefit from the competition and improved choices. Also, without the benefit of having the world's best electronics salesman evangelizing their wares, Apple will probably lose some of its momentum.

Are you trying to understand how EMS companies choose their components distributors from which to buy from? (Example: Flextronics may buy parts from Arrow or Avnet) Or, are you asking what is the process from which EMS companies use to select/purchase their components? Your company is a distributor. Are you trying to sell into EMS companies? Lily – I’m not sure I understand what it is you are asking.

Or, are you asking what is the process from which EMS companies use to select/purchase their components?

Your company is a distributor. Are you trying to sell into EMS companies?

Look at the link and the breakout percentages for each of your buckets.. The materials and labor percentages will change mostly based on components content and assembly/build (labor) complexity.
