What
are the advantages of Contract Engineering?
Contract
Engineering enables Product Companies to reduce their cost of
engineering infrastructure and processes, just like Contract Manufactuting
did for manufacturing.
By purchasing engineering services as needed from a common provider,
companies share the infrastructure and process costs with their peers
achieving better Return on Investment.
Traditional
fixed costs of infrastructure resources, and the related costs of people
responsible for engineering processes are thus converted into variable
ones, based on the task at hand and paying for usage, under a contract
of performance with a Contract Engineering Company.
Companies
are thus able to consistently sustain a pipeline of new products
through better market and customer focus and simultaneous access to
an efficient mechanism for executing engineering processes.
It
offers several other advantages, including flexibility, speed, better
ROI on R&D outlays, more stable employment to architects in product
companies, and the same for the engineers of Contract Engineering Companies.
