Outsourcing is increasingly embraced by high-tech manufacturers seeking new ways to reduce costs, increase agility, and enhance market competitiveness. This white paper describes the impact on electronics brand owners of increased outsourcing for manufacturing operations. It also reviews the challenges and the process improvement opportunities available to companies that seek to enhance the effectiveness of distributed manufacturing operations - those that are outsourced as well as geographically dispersed operations that remain under internal control. The paper then discusses the primary visibility and collaboration needs of brand owners and concludes by presenting solutions available from SAP to address these requirements.
