Design for Manufacturability – High-Tech Industry
Rise in disposable incomes, emerging middle-class, evolving lifestyle preferences, and the penetration of smart devices has contributed to the overall growth of the high-tech electronics manufacturing industry. Some of the design for manufacturability challenges high-tech electronics manufacturing companies face include:
Shrinking Product Life Cycles & Changing Consumer Preferences
- Shorter product lifecycles as products are becoming obsolete faster, to be replaced by the next big thing
- Consumers seeking greater performance, better features, and flexibility at the lowest price point possible
- Changing focus from Products to solutions to Contextual offerings to enable personalized experiences for consumers
Increasingly Complex Supply Chain Structure
- The high-tech value chain has become very complex with many high tech companies relying on external partners to help design for manufacturability and manufacture their products
- Face consistent pressure to manage Global Supply Chain Quality and Collaboration
- Need to have enhanced visibility across end-to-end supply chains to make smarter business decisions
Reducing Product Prices & Shrinking Operating Margins
- Global competition and new innovations are driving electronic equipment prices down
- Hi-Tech Manufacturers, suppliers face uncertainty with respect to product margins given intense competition
