Electronics Brands Are Encouraged to Verify CM's FLA Compliance


With major electronics supplier Foxconn now under investigation by the Fair Labor Association (FLA), contract manufacturers around the world are reviewing their own manufacturing practices to ensure their compliance with FLA regulations. As a key customer of Foxconn, Apple, Inc. has also come under some suspicion, earning the company a lot of negative publicity. 


This public relations debacle has served as a dire warning to many electronics brands, that worker's rights issues are of crucial importance to the electronics industry and that those who do not continuously evaluate the compliance measures of their CM's, will be placed under the scrutiny of the FLA. 


As a direct result, the cost of outsourcing labor in many countries will likely increase and drive many of the industry's primary players to find alternative manufacturing locations.

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.
