Outsourcing low volume high mix manufacturing
Low volume high mix (LVHM) manufacturing - making complex products in small quantities -challenges manufacturers to produce a wide range of highly sophisticated products with quality and speed. Outsourcing LVHM manufacturing to EMS companies makes sense. They are specialists in managing different demand types and can manage a customers’ entire supply chain and product life cycle.
