Outsourcing Management

Outsourcing Management

With more than 20-years experience working with offshore design and manufacturing companies, Elite Electronics has developed very strong, strategic relationships with a proven group of ISO 9001:2000 Asian companies. These companies along with Elite Electronics form a 'value added supply chain' that is capable of providing total program support from product design and development to raw material sourcing, production order fulfillment and aftermarket support.

When Elite Electronics enters into an outsourcing agreement with a customer, Elite sees itself not as a supplier but as a 'valued member' of the customer's delivery team. To ensure that this philosophy works, Elite Electronics works very closely with the customer to determine the customer's near and long-term product requirements. The first and most important step in this process is to establish a simple yet efficient communications process that leaves nothing to guesswork.

With the help of the customer's product development and delivery team, Elite Electronics:
