The electronics manufacturing industry can sometimes seem like a jungle to companies ill equipped to navigate around the dangers that can lurk behind every tree. Without clear signposting, the route to offshore manufacturing can be littered with the kind of pitfalls where only the cleverest companies will survive.
You’ve heard the bad news stories highlighting sweatshops, poor health and safety and quality issues. Who do you believe? Who can you trust? Tough times, demand tough talk, but who is listening to your plea for a safe haven? Fortunately, help is at hand as many leading UK CEMs can now allay your fears in taking your manufacturing and sourcing to low cost economies (LCE). By considering the potential risks and ethical implications, OEMs can avoid the multitude of hidden potential costs associated with managing the supply chain offshore and get their final product to market.
