| OEM
focus on outsourcing is on the rise, since it yields better products
at more competitive prices. PDQ, in turn, constantly assesses
its own capabilities, maximizing efficiency wherever possible, and
pursuing a policy of outsourcing in order to reduce costs without
compromising quality.
Following
this supply chain management model, PDQ can adopt the most
cost-effective processes to achieve the best enclosure system possible
for the budget allowed.

This
business philosophy requires a value-add mentality, rather than
a build-at-all-costs approach.
This is why PDQ can (and sometimes does!) disqualify
itself as a manufacturer, outsourcing a subcomponent that can be
obtained at a lower cost elsewhere, yet still meet or exceed the
stated specifications.
PDQ
contributes stringent overall control, from strict adherence to
design requirements to final assembly and testing, using the most
cost-effective sources available.
This approach requires contracted integration of the electronics
manufacturing supply chain, with PDQ furnishing more value-added services
than ever before.
In
return, PDQ's OEM Customers benefit in the form of tight cost
control and outstanding product quality, achieving better profit
margins in an increasingly competitive market. Without these
benefits, the OEM
Customer
could not increase market share. |
