What is Contract Manufacturing?
Contact manufacturing is manufacturing of a product by a job shop on behalf of an external customer. Normally, the customer supplies the drawings and specifications as well as the quality control criteria. For most effective, error-free contract manufacturing, it is imperative that the customer involve the vendor in the quality planning process and provide well-documented instructions, drawings and specifications, so the vendor understands expectations of the customer. Both the customer and the vendor should approach contract manufacturing in the spirit of partnership with the objective of producing Zero Defects quality.

Contract manufacturing of Choosing India Over China
It is true that India is not always cost competitive against China – especially in low tech, mass production situations. A case in point is CNC machining, which is actually the strength of China. Depending on the complexity of design and lot quantity, the cost differential could be between 5 and 20% in favor of China. However, where India dominates is in small production runs and protection of intellectual property.

Contract Manufacturing of Tool & Die Making
India, because of the readily available engineering talent and tool making skills, has evolved ahead of China in the field of pattern, tool and die design and build
The Tool and Die industry offers services such as CAD-CAM support, design assistance, initial tool tryout, production facilities and rapid prototyping. There are plenty of experienced tool and die design and manufacturing personnel for making quality patterns and molds using 3D modeling software package like Solid Edge and Unigraphics. Computer aided manufacturing (CAM) is used to fabricate products directly from CAD outputs. Tool and die makers provide design assistance with concepts, manufacturing costs, manufacturing techniques and material considerations. They are usually able to assist with upgrading, redesigning, reevaluating or modernizing existing products to increase performance and reduce manufacturing costs.
