Contract Manufacturing Benchmarks and Best Practices
In
today's challenging business environment, many device or pharma
companies may resort to contract design and manufacturing on the
hope that such strategy allows them to focus on core
competencies while enjoying the added benefits of lower costs,
flexibility, access to external expertise and reduced capital.
But organizations need to take a strategic approach to
contract-manufacturing relationships because, even with solid
assumptions, it may be a struggle to achieve the hoped-for
benefits. This is primarily due to the difficulty in managing
complex relationships, particularly by small and mid-size
companies. Learn how businesses can do this by rigorously
assessing when and why to use contract manufacturers, setting
the appropriate working model and developing an effective
organization.
