With the reality that most companies want to reduce labour costs, many turn to outsourcing through EMS to gain advantage. Other industries utilizing EMS include automotive, communications, medical and office equipment. Close to 60% of all products produced by EMS providers are for the computer or consumer products industries. In the 1980's, because of the rapid increase in electronic manufacturing, EMS providers stretched their services to not only provide consignment but complete turnkey services such as product design, materials management, final assembly, and in some cases, after-sale services. EMS customers provided all board designs, components and testing.
Before the 1980's, EMS were primarily utilized to reduce labour costs and to provide additional manufacturing capabilities. The Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS) suppliers are used by many companies as a strategic way to reduce time to market, decrease costs, improve quality, and improve overall customer satisfaction.

Several recommendations are made to overcome these challenges including employee training and re-engineering of business processes for better system integration. The research also showed that e-supply chain management systems have many technical issues such as problems with process automation and transmission of supply chain data, e-procurement effectiveness, integration with existing systems and the monitoring of inventory systems and purchasing process. Results of the research revealed that e-supply chain management had a positive effect in the electronic manufacturing services industry as these showed that the profits of the firm increased and internal communications were improved due to the implementation of e-supply chain management. A causal and descriptive research study was conducted based on a survey applied to thirty six individuals in electronic manufacturing services firms in order to determine the impact of e-supply chain management on their key supply chain operations.

Food desert expert Mari Gallagher has emphasized metrics that help clarify which types of retail projects are most likely to successfully address problems, and she is pushing for a closer look at which projects really deserve and need incentives.Īnother worthwhile effort is ensuring that retailers in the SNAP program are truly serving its goals, a move that could involve more enforcement and even increasing standards, said Gallagher, who is advocating change in this area.The Effect of E-Supply Chain Management Systems in the North American Electronic Manufacturing Services Industry More retailers should consider increasing their roles in these communities, even as research and analysis into the problem gets more granular. The imperative for 2012 will be to build on these accomplishments. All of this progress is little comfort to the millions of Americans still living in food deserts, but it’s progress nonetheless.
