The right approach would be to identify the root causes, which have a direct bearing on the key performance indicators (KPI) and thus optimize them by choosing the appropriate solutions.

In line with the trends in IT solutions which spell out cost-effective and needs-oriented, the Contract Manufacturers (CMs) need to come out of the traditional OEM-dominated supply chain and start looking at the solutions which give them the cutting edge.
