We evaluate what truly matters: operational execution, not concepts.
The selection and onboarding of EMS partners is not decided on paper, but in daily operational reality. Many audits remain precisely where it is convenient: in the conference room, looking at presentations and standardized checklists.
The problem with this approach is obvious – what is evaluated is the marketing image, not the actual capability. The risks only emerge later: during ramp-ups, in bottleneck situations, or when supply chains come under pressure.
We consciously take a different path. We evaluate EMS locations exactly where performance is actually generated: on the shop floor, in supply chain management, and within operational processes.
As former managing directors in electronics manufacturing, we know what truly matters – and above all, what matters when things no longer go according to plan. Our focus is not on formal compliance levels, but on the question: Is this partner capable of delivering stably under real-world conditions?
We analyze not only structures, but their resilience in daily operations. This includes evaluating capacities and scalability, as well as the ability to absorb short-term demand spikes without a loss in quality.
A central component is also the analysis of procurement and supply chain management: How is material availability ensured? What strategies exist for volatile markets? Furthermore, we examine processes, interfaces, and decision-making paths in detail.
The active error culture is particularly relevant here: Are deviations addressed openly and resolved sustainably – or merely documented? Through our operational experience, we quickly recognize whether systems function substantially or were optimized just for the moment.
The result of our audits is not a standardized score, but a resilient foundation for decision-making. We create transparency regarding real-world risks, point out concrete potential, and clearly identify which measures are required to stably integrate a location into your supply chain.
This does not result in a theoretical evaluation – but in genuine security when selecting and managing your EMS partners.
