Best and worst......

<p>I don´t know what insight we will gain from knowing which manufacturer is the best or the worst in keeping delivery dates - if he´s the only one making it and we dearly want to have it, we have to bite the apple.</p> <p>As long as this thread stays civil, I will let it roll along.</p> <p>In the good old days, the entire production process was in one hand - from product design and development to prototyping, pattern making, parts production, assembly and quality control. Now this takes place in a distributed environment, in most cases with an ocean and a language barrier in between, making the process hard and costly to control. For better control and performance, you need to have a process manager on site with your manufacturer, one you pay and not the manufacturer. Market prices, however, don´t allow for these extra costs. Unless we are prepared to spend more, the issue of announced but not met delivery dates will haunt us for more than just a little while.</p>
