    Revolution of Out-sourcing

    • In House Era

      Higher Cost / Low Capacity

       

      inhouse_2

       

      Internet is not yet popular, and the concept of Industry 3.0 hasn't been implemented, so the industry structure is relatively closed. Many system manufacturers tend to work behind closed doors, making it difficult to effectively activate the vertical application ecosystem.

      Meanwhile, the cost of production and logistics remain high and the productivity is usually limited.

      1990s~2005

    • Individually Outsourcing

      Higher Communication Cost / Quality Control is Difficult

       

      outsorce

       

      As the flow of business information becomes more universal, manufacturers or solution providers were gradually realizing that delivering various components to different suppliers for production can effectively reduce costs. However, integration capability is the biggest challenge. Large amount of suppliers may cause difficulties in financial management and business communication, trouble shooting is also extremely cumbersome.

      2005~2010s

    • One-stop Outsourcing

      Painkiller of communication with multiple suppliers

       

      onestop-1

       

      The cost structure of a product becomes more critical.

      It is a popular production approach to start from cost orientation, break down the system elements into smaller units to calculate expenses, and even do integration or co-development to increase profitability.

      Now

    ODM→OKM→OCM

    (Design, Knowledge, Consulting)

    We do these based on the extensive experience with our customers

    Since the 1990s, with globalization's development, the global market and economic environment have fundamentally changed. The ever-changing market has forced the traditional ODM industry that only focused on "price" and "quantity" to be passed on. Instead, the emerging ODM business types are OKM (Original Knowledge Manufacturers) and OCM (Original Consulting Manufacturers).


    Why Choose DFI for One-stop Outsourcing?
