Product and component long lead time management reports by the contract manufacturer will contribute to helping make sure the OEM outsourcing programs have a better chance of meeting scheduling and shipping requirements.
Typically, contract manufacturers will purchase specified quantities of long lead time material and OEM customer-unique materials only when the OEM customer authorizes such in advance and in writing.
Meanwhile, it is reasonable for the OEM customer to ask the contract manufacturer to compile, and maintain, a lead time report concerning product and component long lead time management (and provide an updated version of the report to the customer on a monthly basis to reflect the OEM’s most current requirements).
