The Challenge of Contract Manufacturing in a Digital and Networked World
What is a Contract Manufacturer?
A contract manufacturer takes on specific process steps from another company to produce products. In particular, the contract manufacturer offers its services on a contractual basis in the marketplace. The customer specifies the work to be performed and the required properties of the final product. The contract manufacturer then completes this work using its own processes. The finished product is delivered to the customer on the agreed delivery date.
There are several advantages for customers who „outsource“ individual processing steps to a contract manufacturer. For example, the customer does not need to purchase their own processing machines, resulting in lower fixed costs. Additionally, they benefit from the contract manufacturer’s extensive expertise. Contract manufacturers also provide the flexibility to bridge short-term bottlenecks or accommodate fluctuations in capacity.
