Any company planning to manufacture a product is faced with two options: either it takes responsibility for creating the whole product by itself, or it decides to manufacture it through subcontractors.
In many cases, subcontracting is more cost-effective and easier, and a company would then seek a contract manufacturer.
The use of subcontracting is more frequent for larger and more complex projects. Once a company reaches a certain production volume, it may wish to manufacture its products abroad. Overseas manufacturing is usually cheaper, allowing goods to be produced in large volumes. In certain countries, such as China, some factories specialize in manufacturing very specific products, using quality raw materials, excellent production techniques, and a highly skilled human workforce.
You’ll have to overcome some serious challenges before you can capitalize on these opportunities. Cultural and geographical distance is critical in international business. First, communication challenges may lead to misunderstandings. Second, manufacturing companies face transportation and logistics costs. Finally, quality control is difficult from a distance.
Again, it is crucial to pick a partner with the right manufacturing capabilities for your specific project. Beyond a certain threshold in quantity and complexity of procedures, working with overseas manufacturing becomes justified.
