Planning and Promising Contract Manufacturing Orders

The Planning and Promising Contract Manufacturing Orders feature in contract manufacturing, helps in planning the requirement of all the components that are supplied by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) to the contract manufacturer.

Contract manufacturing solution supports two flavors for the OEM supplied components. The OEM can do one of the following:

  • Supply the components in bulk at the contract manufacturer's facility.

  • Supply components with every order that the OEM places on the contract manufacturer.

In a typical business scenario, the OEM would prefer to supply low-cost components in bulk at the contract manufacturer's facility and ship the high-cost components on a per order basis.

This feature also helps in planning and promising the contract manufactured items and adds to the business value of an organization.
