Incap Electronics UK’s business development director, Tracy Court, provides valuable insights for purchasing professionals seeking a new or alternative CEM.
When selecting a new or alternative CEM, it’s crucial to prioritise several key factors. Start by looking for an established EMS provider with a global footprint to leverage diverse expertise and resources and to help secure strategic components in the supply chain to ensure continuity in supply. Ensure the CEM offers standalone prototyping and design for manufacturability (DfM) services to facilitate smooth transitions from concept to production. Additionally, seek a team that demonstrates flexibility and a proactive, can-do attitude to adapt to specific needs and overcome challenges effectively.
Navigating industry challenges is essential for maintaining a competitive edge. Although lead times have generally improved, some components remain difficult to source. To mitigate these issues, consider using generic components whenever possible. Additionally, staying informed about evolving legislation and sustainability requirements is crucial for compliance and competitiveness.
