There is no denying that costing electronic manufacturing services is difficult, whether OEMs are presented with pricing determined by incorrect RFQ process or materials, quotes prepared by an EMS provider can be daunting trying to identify and separate real value, from fluff. You can argue its complexity simply by knowing how EMS quotes are created.
Some quotes are created via internal EMS, home-grown quote systems or, EMS quote pricing is determined by quoting systems sold to EMS manufacturers by software vendors who, themselves, do not have the complexity built in.

Curated instruction
OEM buyers tasked with managing EMS solutions spend and comparing EMS responses to quotes for EMS services only see ‘price quoted’ to OEM companies – what the EMS provider wants the OEM to see. We help you see the ‘actual cost’ EMS provider incurs to run your program(s).
In every client engagement OEMs gain a much, much deeper understanding of how to cost EMS services – without having to draw from department budgets that might be allocated for training and education.
Our objective is to help you make more informed decisions. More OEMs need to challenge EMS manufacturing quoted fees and pricing and now they can and, on a level where OEM purchasing managers know more about the EMS manufacturer’s business than EMS executives with years of industry experience.
We can tell you, and show you, how much your outsourcing program costs the EMS manufacturer (the EMS provider’s internal costs) to service your program and produce your product. More importantly, we also can tell you, and show you in a justified manner, how much room you have to cut costs during EMS negotiations and – where you can cut.
