What is an Electronic Manufacturing Service?

An Electronic Manufacturing Service(EMS) provider offers a wide range of manufacturing outsourcing services to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). They create products for OEMs and offer value added services, streamlining the entire process of electronic product development and manufacturing whilst allowing them to focus on core aspects such as research and development (R&D).

Applications in electronics manufacturing encompass various industries such as aerospace, to medical devices. 

Choosing the wrong EMS provider can hinder your business growth, leading to production delays, higher costs, and product quality issues. Karkhana.io understands the challenges and opportunities in the rapidly changing landscape of electronics manufacturing.

Why do you need an EMS provider?

Effective Sourcing of Raw Materials:

EMS providers hold a vast base of suppliers that can assist them in securing high-quality raw materials at competitive prices. They also conduct thorough assessments of suppliers to ensure compliance with quality standards and regulatory requirements. It is also easier for them to scale production due to the supplier diversity they hold.

Greater competence in manufacturing processes:

Competencies form the primary basis of any EMS provider and set a standard for competitions between firms. They can be identified with the use of various production techniques along with adherence to the best manufacturing practices to achieve high levels of quality. EMS providers enhance their competence in manufacturing processes by leveraging their expertise and state-of-the-art technology. This enables them to deliver superior manufacturing solutions. 

Supply Chain Management:

Supply chain management strategies are imperative, as they save you from a line-down situation. Prioritising certain decisions from the project’s outset is crucial, saving you both time and money. EMS providers help minimise lead times and save you from stretching deadlines. They coordinate the flow of materials and components whilst incorporating quality control procedures and planning systems as a part of their daily routine. A good EMS partner can always facilitate your supply-chain needs.

Quality Assurance:

Quality assurance is paramount in EMS, with providers implementing rigorous testing procedures to ensure that each product meets strict performance and reliability standards. 

We can broadly categorise the quality control methods of electronics manufacturing into 3 categories:

  1. Component Management.
  2. Process Management.
  3. Data Management.

Risk Mitigation:

The risk reduction/mitigation strategies implemented by EMS providers help minimise disruptions, prevent defects, and adapt to changing market dynamics. 

This includes conducting the following:

  1. Conduct thorough risk assessments to identify potential vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement stringent quality control measures
  3. Establish contingency plans and alternative sourcing strategies
