There are a range of business models in contract manufacturing. Some contract manufacturers have well-established manufacturing processes but depend on customers to define the process for sharing information, launching production or initiating continuous improvement efforts. Others have well-defined processes for these areas that can be adapted to customer requirements in addition to well-defined manufacturing processes. This latter business model is often more efficient because it streamlines the parts of the business relationship that can otherwise drive significant hidden cost.

Forefront Medical Technology utilizes repeatable processes to ensure efficient product development, launch and continuous improvement. This whitepaper looks at these areas and discusses the benefits of this approach. Read the full whitepaper here.
