<p> Choosing between in-house production or working with a contract manufacturing partner can be a difficult decision. This episode helps to dissect the pros and cons of each option, while also providing a third alternative. Benefits of in-house - Proximity between design and production - Opportunity to be scrappy - Theoretical potential to capture greater gross margin - Confidentiality is simpler - Greater flexibility - Quality and delivery is within your control - You care more Benefits of CM - Able to get to market faster - Predictable costs - Reduced capital investment - Higher net profit margin potential - Ability to leverage relevant, specialized knowledge - Ability to focus on core competency outside manufacturing - Greater reliability and performance (if you pick the right CM) Question - what do you do if you want to get the best of both worlds?

<p>When launching a new product or version, it's important to balance speed, cost, and quality. Start with a strong and flexible foundation, understanding the unique requirements of your product. Turn the dials appropriately by finding the right balance between formal processes and speed. Be efficient with capital by starting with manual processes and introducing automation when necessary. Don't forget about in-process quality checks, but be intentional about when and where to implement them.</p> <p><strong>Takeaways</strong>:</p> <ul> <li>Start with a strong and flexible foundation for production</li> <li>Understand the unique requirements of your product</li> <li>Find the right balance between formal processes and speed</li> <li>Be efficient with capital by starting with manual processes</li> <li>Implement in-process quality checks strategically</li> </ul> <p><strong>Keywords</strong></p> <p>product launch, speed, cost, quality, strong foundation, unique requirements, formal processes, automation, in-process quality checks</p> <p><strong>About Edison: </strong></p> <p>Edison Manufacturing & Engineering is a niche contract manufacturer, focused on flexible and capital efficient assembly of complex mobility and mobility-adjacent products that are not well suited for highly automated production.
