A More Profitable Alternative to Contract Manufacturing Without Sacrificing Expertise

A More Profitable Alternative to Contract Manufacturing Without Sacrificing Expertise

Over the last few decades, contract manufacturing has become an effective business strategy for expanding organizations. However, recent disruptions to the global supply chain and labor constraints throughout the manufacturing industry are forcing organizations to rethink their production methods and find a profitable alternative. 

Medical Device Kit IsolatedWhen comparing all available strategies, bringing your manufacturing in-house may be the most profitable way to proceed. OEMs that depend on contract manufacturers have to rely on their expertise to maintain product quality. With an automated machine cell from Intec Automation, you can build quality validation procedures into your manufacturing process while reducing production costs and increasing capacity. 

 

Why You Should Consider an Automated Manufacturing Solution Instead of Contract Manufacturing

Needle CircleIn the past, contract manufacturing was a way to mitigate risk by transferring production responsibilities to a third party. For Repetitive Equipment Manufacturing (REM) organizations, this meant ordering a steady supply of products of equal quality to meet customer demand. 

Snap to today and contract manufacturing may increase the risk to your organization as circumstances could change suddenly. Taking control of your production processes with an automated manufacturing solution puts your destiny back in your hands. 

With an automated, in-house manufacturing system, you gain:

  • Oversight of the entire production process and control over the day-to-day operations
  • Consistent and repeatable manufacturing process with a fully automated machine cell
  • In-process validations, tests, and inspections to maintain product quality and demonstrate compliance

To ensure you succeed, you should choose an automation partner that will work with you to understand the production requirements and optimize the manufacturing process to develop a solution that provides the best ROI
