Make vs Buy

One of the biggest strategic decisions your business will take will be to outsource your manufacturing operations. It therefore must be comforting to know that one contract electronics manufacturer has taken the time and effort to develop a 'modus operandi' for such circumstances to ensure your transition to an outsourced model is transparent, seamless and trouble free.

Ultra Electronics CEMS has developed its partner programme for companies contemplating an outsourcing model and for those companies which have already taken the decision to outsource their electronic manufacturing requirements.

Our partner programme is designed to ensure we move at the pace your business is comfortable with resulting in an efficient transfer of your production activities.

If you are not already convinced about the merits of outsourcing then why not listen to some satisfied customers who have made the transition to our partner programme.

"By outsourcing our manufacturing operations we were able to increase the focus on our core competencies. This gave our business added impetus and led to increased sales, margins and reduced product development cycles". In addition, we freed up valuable working capital by the removal of component inventory, adverse material variances and stock obsolescence".
Finance Director, Industrial Company.

"We made significant overhead reductions, increased cash flow and now have access to the latest manufacturing technology".
Operations Manager, Aerospace Company.

"The cost of ensuring our manufacturing plant was competitive was prohibitive, it was a straight choice between developing new products and investing in further plant, it was an easy decision and one of the best ones we have ever made. Ultra Electronics made the transition happen at our pace".
Operations Director, Defence Company.

"The directors of our company decided we needed to outsource our manufacturing, it was my job to find the right solution. When I found Ultra Electronics and their partner programme it addressed our key requirements. Three years on and I can still say the actions match the words."
Procurement Manager, Medical Company.

"We needed access to greater purchasing power in order to compete with our offshore competitors, we chose Ultra because of their ability to access global pricing and strategic group deals"
Purchasing Manager, Industrial Company.

"We operate in a niche market sector where the reliability of our product in the field is absolutely critical. Our business is also project orientated and we found that we could not justify our overhead structure on an ongoing basis. We needed to outsource manufacturing and test to ensure our products were competitive but at the same time needed to find a manufacturer who could meet our quality requirements. Ultra Electronics can provide both."
Supply Chain Manager, Oil & Gas Company.
