EMS providers back on track
McKinsey & Company´s study "Getting contract manufacturers back on track", states that EMS providers, just by making a few changes, can cash in on the upturn in the technology market.
Among other assertions McKinseys study finds that the EMS companies, during the downturn in the industry, was a bit too generous with their services without charging their costomers enough.
The few steps that gets the EMS companies back up on their feet are, according to pcb007.com:
1) basing capacity on realistic (not best-case) sales forecasts;
2) changing outdated pricing models;
3) demanding payment for everything they provide, including changes to orders from OEMs.
