EMS companies look to enhance proficiency over volume


A recent study has shown that a shift in general business approach is occurring for many companies within the EMS industry. In the past, EMS companies have primarily equated their competitiveness and success with output levels.  However, this parallel is quickly disintegrating as these same companies are now starting to develop their core competencies over increased output. 


The two areas most companies are focusing on today are manufacturing skills and supply chain management. Whatever the outcome, the competitive landscape of the EMS industry is likely to drastically change in the coming years.

Buyers Establish New Strategies for Evaluating Supplier Quality

In today's advancing marketplace, riddled with counterfeit components and unpredictability, it has become increasingly difficult for components buyers to adequately measure and evaluate the quality of their suppliers. However, there are several strategic precautions buyers can take that will certainly help indicate their supplier's level of quality commitment and aid in reducing risk to their production line.  

This supplier evaluation process begins with researching and finding out as much about the company's internal controls and quality management system as possible. Buyers will then be equipped with the information they need to make an official decision as to the true quality of the supplier.

China's restriction of mineral exports threatens Technology Industry


In an effort to stimulate growth within its own economy, China has recently put export restraints on several rare minerals that are required to make many of today's high-tech products. As a result, many countries with large electronics and technology manufacturing industries, such as Japan and the US, have filed formal complaints to the Word Trade Organization, condemning China's behavior. 


China continues to limit rare mineral exports today and  has not expressed any intention to repeal this policy anytime in the near future.
