Plans are underway to introduce surface mount and thru-hole printed circuit card assemblies.

“Hermosillo possesses the infrastructure, stable operating costs, and a large number of available, skilled personnel experienced in EMS services, making the site selection an easy one,” said Richard Evangelista, vice president of operations.

The facility will be shipping product by October 2010.

Founded in 1948, Federal Electronics, Inc., is a leading vertically-integrated electronics manufacturing services (EMS) provider.

White Paper Details How to Choose the Right EMS Provider for Medical Products Outsourcing

CRANSTON, R.I. – November 20, 2007 – A new, free white paper advises medical device original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) on choosing the right electronics manufacturing services (EMS) provider for medical products outsourcing. It’s available free to download at www.federalelec.com/medicalpaper .

Medical device OEMs must balance the need for consistent quality and conformance to product and regulatory requirements with the equally essential need to get new products to market quickly and efficiently. Partnering with a competent EMS provider can serve an OEM as a source for business, manufacturing and operational innovation and efficiency that can be leveraged for competitive advantage.

However, choosing the wrong supplier can result in significant cost, product quality, and customer retention issues, warned Ed Evangelista, vice president, Federal Electronics, and author of the new white paper, “Choosing the Right EMS Provider for Medical Products Outsourcing.”

“The key in the process of selecting the right EMS provider is determining who can provide a seamless and efficient extension of your operation while conforming to the critical requirements imposed by the FDA and other regulatory bodies,” Evangelista said.

In the white paper, Evangelista draws on more than 20 years of experience to advise medical product OEMs to successfully execute the supplier evaluation and selection process, and details such issues as:

  • The three key process capabilities on which to evaluate suppliers
  • Defining your outsourcing strategy
  • Matching your business profile to the prospective vendor
  • Requiring flexibility as a must-have for high-mix, low-volume products
  • Finding a personality “fit”
  • Understanding your new product introduction strategy
  • Recognizing Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) as a key capability
  • Buying according to total acquisition cost rather than price

“Selecting an EMS partner for medical devices is a strategic process. A successful long-term relationship will pay lasting dividends in lower costs, higher productivity, greater creativity, and increased velocity to market. But the stakes are high. Virtually every decision is a minefield. Don’t take anything for granted,” Evangelista said.

Free White Paper Details Outsourcing Strategy “Musts” for Defense Contractor Companies

CRANSTON, R.I. – August 21, 2007 – A new, free white paper detailing the seven things defense contractor companies must know before selecting an electronics manufacturing services (EMS) partner for outsourcing military and government contract manufacturing projects is now available at http://www.federalelec.com/militarypaper.

While government contractors and other suppliers to the U.S. military have only recently started to explore the role of outsourcing contracts as a means to create a competitive advantage, the practice is on the fast track. Analysts estimate that outsourcing among prime military contractors will exceed $4 billion this year.

“And for good reason,” according to Ed Evangelista, vice president, Federal Electronics, and author of the new white paper. “When effectively integrated, an outsourcing strategy enables defense contractor companies to expand and contract operations to meet demand without maintaining an expensive infrastructure and at lower cost with shorter development cycle times.

“However, selecting the wrong electronics manufacturing services (EMS) outsourcing partner is a decision fraught with risks – in terms of cost, product quality and delivery, and customer retention,” he said.

Based on 20 years of “witnessing the best and worst of electronic contract manufacturing,” Evangelista has observed seven key principles to ensure the successful outcome of outsourcing contracts. He has codified those principles into a new, free white paper titled “Selecting an Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) Partner for Military/Government Applications: 7 Things You Must Know,” providing strategic discussions offering how-to advice on such issues as:

  • Determining the appropriate outsourcing strategy
  • Matching business profiles & capabilities
  • Addressing product mix
  • Enterprise resource planning (ERP)
  • New product introductions
  • Cost strategies and issues

“For defense contractor companies, the economic benefits of a successful outsourcing strategy are great. But likewise, the stakes are equally as high. Virtually every decision can be a minefield. Don’t take anything for granted,” Evangelista said.
