Outsourcing
Outsourcing means moving non-core operations from internal company resources to external organizations. The primary benefit here is that you can stay focused on your primary business needs. Frequently, in production the actual manufacturing job boils down to being able to get quality results on your schedule. Price is, of course, a factor. But in today’s competitive environment, with the benefits of scale and specialization, rarely can a company compete internally on a non-core function.
Offshoring
This is outsourced work that is performed in a different country. This model promises lower costs due to reduced labor costs in foreign countries.
Painless

Challenges to effective Outsourcing:
Quality of Service – One of the areas that can turn outsouring into a nightmare is quality of the deliverable. To protect yourself, there are number of key points to review.
Outsource to a company that has the experience and reputation for being a top-notch service provider.
If the company has a reputation to maintain, rather than being a “Johnny-come-lately”, you can have confidence that your experience matters to them.
Find a company that has local presence and strong ties to its production facilities.
By working with a company who has a strong connection with its manufacturers, you get repeatable success and better quality control. Companies who always switch to the cheapest production companies can’t deliver quality results every time.
Electro Circuits has a financial investment in their manufacturer, thus it is a strategic partnership. Therefore, Electro Circuits success is dependent on having its manufacturer provide quality products on-time, every time. The Electro Circuits management visits the production facility in South Korea every 6-8 months, with the manufacturer’s management doing the same in the US.
Use a company who understands your culture.
Companies that have worked with organizations like yours, can significantly reduce miscommunications. Prompt response to inquiries, follow up, and a commitment to delivering on time, are the trademark characteristics that you need.
With Electro Circuits, you are getting a company that understands the need for customer service.
