		Identifying contract electronics manufacturer candidates for "1st-cut" consideration can be difficult even for technology companies well experienced in contract manufacturing. The industry is complex and continually changing: There are 50 electronic manufacturing services (EMS) and original design manufacturers (ODM) companies worldwide with revenues over $200 million, plus hundreds of other smaller local and regional contractors. Operating performance such a quality and delivery varies considerably among sites, even among those of the same contract manufacturer. There are also important differences in key services such as supply chain management, product design, DFX engineering, VMI, distribution and repair. Outsourcing to China has grown rapidly but other low cost continue to build on market proximity and specialization advantages. CMC’s information network is extensive and continually growing. We have excellent contacts with many large, mid-size and smaller contract manufacturers and component parts suppliers worldwide. Much first-hand knowledge of their capabilities is gained from our on-going supplier evaluation and supplier selection work. To stay current on latest industry and contract manufacturer developments, CMC uses a variety of information sources including directories, industry publications, regional newsletters and country risk assessment resources. We leverage an extensive global network of in-country and technical advisors for additional perspective. CMC's growing reputation and credibility among hundreds of contract manufacturers and 2nd-tier suppliers is an important advantage that we bring to every client relationship.
