It is often used to reduce expenses for manufacturing equipment and production worker salaries, to respond to spikes in demand, or enter into new markets. Let&#8217;s dive deeper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many paths to manufacturing success. Some companies start from scratch and produce their products in-house from day one.&nbsp;Others produce some aspects of their goods while buying partially processed materials or sub-assemblies from sub-contractors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Further still, there are those who manufacture their entire product lines using another company\u2019s facilities either as a transition to in-house production or as an element of their core business model. In this case, those who manufacture their products through other entities are doing so using contract manufacturing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In contract manufacturing, a parent company will initiate a contract between itself and another manufacturer to produce a predefined number of products for the parent company for a predetermined period. Also called private manufacturing or white-label manufacturing, this type of arrangement is commonly in use in many industries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One such example is food production where name-brand food labels produce their own product line while using the same equipment and often the same raw materials to leverage excess capacity in order to produce private-label foodstuffs for local grocery chains which may often sell the in-store and name-brand goods side by side.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"banner-v2\">\n    <p class=\"banner-v2__desc\">Easily manage contract manufacturing with MRPeasy<\/p>\n    <a class=\"banner-v2__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mrpeasy.com\/sign-up\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-ga-event=\"blog_signup_banner_blue\">Try for free<\/a>\n<\/div>\t\t<style>.banner-v2 {\n    float: right;\n    display: flex;\n    flex-direction: column;\n    justify-content: center;\n    align-items: center;\n    padding: 40px 32px;\n    gap: 16px;\n    width: 356px;\n    height: 205px;\n    background: linear-gradient(199.68deg, #6084E5 13.17%, #5FA7DD 82.1%);\n    border-radius: 4px;\n    margin-left: 12px;\n    margin-bottom: 12px;\n    margin-top: 15px;\n}\n\n@media (max-width: 767.98px) {\n    .banner-v2 {\n         width: 100%;\n         height: 173px;\n         margin-bottom: 0;\n         margin-left: 0;\n    }\n}\n\n.single__content p.banner-v2__desc {\n    margin: 0 !important;\n}\n\np.banner-v2__desc {\n    width: 292px;\n    font-style: normal;\n    font-weight: 700;\n    font-size: 22px;\n    line-height: 29px !important;\n    text-align: center;\n    color: #FFFFFF;\n    margin: 0 !important;\n    order: 0 !important;\n}\n\n.single__content a.banner-v2__link {\n    color: #FFFFFF !important;\n}\n\n.single__content a.banner-v2__link:hover {\n    color: #003557 !important;\n}\n\na.banner-v2__link {\n    display: flex;\n    justify-content: center;\n    align-items: center;\n    width: 181px;\n    height: 51px;\n    padding: 18px 0;\n    border-radius: 4px;\n    background: #003557;\n    font-weight: 700;\n    font-size: 16px;\n    color: #FFFFFF !important;\n    text-decoration: none !important;\n    order: 1 !important;\n}\n\n.banner-v2__link:hover {\n    background: white;\n    color: #003557 !important;\n}<\/style>\n\t\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_do_companies_use_contract_manufacturing\"><\/span>Why do companies use contract manufacturing?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many good reasons for companies to use contract manufacturing. As manufacturing is usually a capital-intensive endeavor, contract manufacturing allows companies to focus on product design, marketing, sales, and development while rendering the manufacturing costs to a less variable, semi-fixed cost that is easier to manage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This way, companies can focus on core competencies and grow their product lines without the financial requirements of capital equipment purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Contract Manufacturing may also be used as a partial or total bridge to transition to in-house manufacturing.&nbsp;Again, depending on the cost of capital, a company with an innovative product and an expanding market may choose to produce some of its products or sub-assemblies at a contract manufacturer to shore up production until capital equipment can be purchased and commissioned in-house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This allows for incremental expansion without a high level of debt because the parent company can afford a \u201cpay-as-you-go\u201d concept to bringing production in-house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, contract manufacturing can be useful for companies experiencing highly cyclical, seasonal production where the additional investment in equipment is not desirable or cost-effective but extra production in support of existing product lines is needed seasonally. This gives the parent company the flexibility to scale back to its in-house production mode once the season has passed and allows them to control production costs, raw material inventory, and other related operations and holding costs on a less variable basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Contract_manufacturing_risks\"><\/span>Contract manufacturing risks<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Contract manufacturing does, however, carry certain risks.&nbsp;Some challenges of contract manufacturing to be aware of when manufacturing through an outsourced third-party manufacturer include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Geographic considerations<\/strong> \u2013 Some third-party manufacturers may be limited by their country\u2019s legislation from shipping to certain destinations, leaving the parent company without a channel for their goods.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Limited logistics<\/strong> \u2013 Many contract manufacturers are bulk manufacturers and do not perform well or at all with fulfillment.&nbsp;In this case, the parent company may realize cost savings on the production of goods while still having to manage the shipping, logistics, and distribution costs separately.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Quality control<\/strong> \u2013 Regardless of whether the contract supplier is using a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mrpeasy.com\/blog\/discrete-manufacturing-vs-process-manufacturing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">process or discrete manufacturing method<\/a> to manufacture goods, the parent company will have less ability to manage, control, and ensure quality from the third-party manufacturer compared to in-house controls.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Intellectual property<\/strong> \u2013 For highly patented or extremely technical goods, the use of third-party manufacturers can lead to a leak of proprietary information wherein sensitive business data may fall to competitors who can use it to produce similar products at lower costs.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_toll_manufacturing\"><\/span>What is toll manufacturing?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While quite similar to contract manufacturing, toll manufacturing has one distinct difference. In contract manufacturing, the third-party manufacturer is responsible for the entire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mrpeasy.com\/blog\/production-cycle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">production cycle<\/a> of finished goods. This includes the procurement of raw materials and all production phases from beginning to end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In toll manufacturing, however, the parent company provides the materials and product design itself while the third-party company is responsible for processing the raw materials or supplied sub-assemblies into finished products. Therefore, in toll manufacturing, the parent company has greater control over the third-party producer because it is supplying and managing the flow of raw materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some notable examples of toll manufacturing include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Apple\/Foxconn<\/strong> \u2013 While everyone knows Apple, many may not recognize Foxconn. Foxconn is the manufacturer to whom Apple sends its materials such as electronic components, housings, charges, screen glass, and LEDs for the production of its computers and phones.&nbsp; <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Microsoft\/Flextronics<\/strong> \u2013 Like Apple, Microsoft partners with Flextronics to produce its finished products, the components of which are supplied by Microsoft.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Boutique and small footprint wineries<\/strong> \u2013 Toll manufacturing isn\u2019t just used by highly scaled companies such as Apple and Microsoft.&nbsp;Many small and boutique wineries across the world use mobile manufacturing bottling lines to bottle and label their wine at the end of its aging.&nbsp;This allows the winery, not unlike Apple, to maintain control of its product and quality without having to invest in expensive manufacturing operations that may only be used part of the time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Toll manufacturing allows companies a higher degree of control than contract manufacturing and mitigates the quality control risks of the latter. It also allows parent companies to manage logistics and fulfillment better, and retain more control over proprietary aspects of the business.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"banner-v1\">\n    <div class=\"banner__text\">\n        <div class=\"banner-v1__title\">Easily manage both in-house and outsourced manufacturing<\/div>\n        <div class=\"banner-v1__desc\">MRPeasy integrates sales, multi-site production and inventory, purchases, and finances to give you a complete overview of your business.<\/div>\n        <div><a class=\"banner-v1__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mrpeasy.com\/sign-up\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-ga-event=\"blog_signup_banner_white\">Try for free<\/a><\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"banner__img\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mrpeasy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/mrpeasy\/assets\/images\/banner.svg\" alt=\"banner\">\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Contract_manufacturing_with_ERPMRP\"><\/span>Contract manufacturing with ERP\/MRP<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Both contract and toll manufacturing arrangements lend themselves to the benefits of a robust <a aria-label=\"manufacturing ERP system (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mrpeasy.com\/blog\/manufacturing-erp-systems\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">manufacturing ERP system<\/a>.
