A good CEMcan reduce costs, increase quality and stimulate growth so choosing the right CEMis critical, says C-Tech'sMike Crowley
It is not always appropriate to outsource electronics assembly to a contract electronicsmanufacturer (CEM), butwhere it is possible, a good CEMcan provide valuable manufacturing support, reduce overall costs, increase quality control and stimulate growthwithout committing to heavy investment.
So howdo you choose the right
CEM? C-Tech Electronicswill be offering a fewpointers at Electronics Sourcing Live.
The first step is to find a partner
who has the skills and processes to manufacture your product. The CEM should be clear fromthe outsetwhat it can realistically achieve for you. A good CEMwill provide evidence of investment, training and experience to support these skills and underpin this with processes to control the procurement and distribution of parts.

Mike Crowley, explained: “We place a great deal of importance onmaking surewe are a good fit for the customer and their precise requirement.We provide high levels of supportwhen taking on new projects as this is a critical stage for the customer and they need to know fromthe beginning, that they are workingwith someonewho is ready to invest in the relationship.”
To underline this approach C-Tech
has invested over £350k in automated SMT equipment over the past two years, alongwith IPC training for staff and enhancements to their systems and controls.
Financial stability is also an
important factorwhen choosing a CEMpartner. Awillingness to demonstrate good financial practise andmore importantly, being prepared to provide financial information is an important indicator of a successful and forward thinking CEM.
