Strategic Production Model
“Make or buy” is one of the most important decisions an emerging manufacturing company will make. Few companies can make the capital investment it takes to procure the equipment, technology, and personnel required to compete against more established competitors.
Outsourcing elements of manufacturing is more than a convenience for small and mid-size companies; it’s a good strategy when making the transition from engineering to full scale production.
The core competencies of high-tech startups is in engineering and marketing — and sometimes in the final bit of assembly where the “secret sauce” that differentiates the product is put in place. Embracing a contract manufacturer (CM) as an intricate element of the company’s production model is a sound strategy.
