Contract Manufacturing

Contract manufacturing works when commercial convenience does not dilute technical ownership.

What this topic covers

What needs to remain controlled across a supplier route.

When multiple production sources or secondary operations are involved, the customer still needs one coherent requirement, revision, acceptance plan and issue path.

  • Flow technical and quality requirements to every relevant production step.
  • Control source, process or revision changes that can affect acceptance.
  • Define how nonconformance, containment, corrective action and delivery issues are handled.

The production network can be distributed; accountability should not be.
