Pros and cons of OEMs This type of business relationship can be a great way to get a product to market and start generating revenue. By forming an OEM partnership , you will be able to create a product that is difficult to replicate by consumers or competitors due to the cost or time to produce it. You may also unlock access to new markets, industry sectors, and geographic locations by hiring the services of an OEM. However, there are some disadvantages to working with OEMs. Providing design briefs to a manufacturer can sometimes confuse and require members of your team to travel to the factory and provide support and assistance. This can cost your company time and money. The OEM may also require changes to the product during the manufacturing process that are backed by their manufacturing teams rather than your design brief. Also, by not involving the manufacturing team during the development of the product, they won’t have the opportunity to provide their feedback and advice whic...

 The fragile automotive supply chain Internal and external disruptions, both severe and mild, constantly pressure the automotive supply chain and cause unanticipated reductions or stoppages of vehicle production. Internal disruptions include part quality issues, recalls, and supplier financial instability; external disruptions include fluctuating vehicle demand, shifting trade policies and tariffs, natural disasters, and unexpected global resource shortages. A seemingly unending wave of these “trigger” events exposed the fragility of the global automotive supply chain with alarming regularity (see sidebar). Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, OEMs struggled with supplier delivery issues, as evidenced by poor supplier-delivery performance ratings on supplier scorecards. Ongoing supplier performance issues prompted the International Automotive Task Force (IATF), in conjunction with several OEMs, to pilot the IATF Red Supplier status program in mid-2019. This program seeks to correlate...

Benefits exist for OEMs who embrace 3D printing parts — including by third parties 3D-printing companies were beginning to create a grey or black market for copies of OEM parts without the automaker’s validation, similar to how Napster created a black market for digital music 25 years ago. Besides the loss of OEM profits, this situation poses risks for an automaker’s consumers. If the grey- or black-market part is produced using methods not up to OEM specs, the component could fail. Automakers could do what musicians eventually did — digitize, distribute and monetize their products. Customers will pursue what’s inexpensive and convenient. “The end users want to take advantage of it". For example, Nissan could sell an authorized $10 digital specification file for a hard-to-find 1977 Datsun clip. A customer could upload that file into a qualified 3D printing device and reproduce the clip with an OEM-approved level of quality. The part might have originally cost 15 cents, but paying...

What are the biggest factors driving the consolidation we’re seeing today? We see a confluence of two major trends that are driving faster consolidation. First, buyers are more aggressive. They are making record profits and are comfortable with the trends in theindustry that will reward larger groups that have more access to capital, people and technology. Groups like this, such as Lithia, are confident about their futures in the auto retail industry and they want to own more stores. The other reason for more rapid consolidation is that a growing number of dealers are becoming concerned that it will be harder for them to compete in the future. They worry about the increased   need   for investments in facilities and technology. And they wonder about the impacts of electrification, new OEM entrants, the desire for OEMs to sell directly to consumers, and other potential changes that could reduce the value of their businesses. And for some dealers, there is a bit of a rush to ...

Once seen as the second fiddle to Intel in computer processors, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) admits it had an image problem but once its CPUs started showing performance gains the relationship with PC OEMs changed drastically. There was a point in time when AMD’s relationship with our OEM partners was nowhere near as deep as it is today. McAfee, who has been with AMD for well over 15 years, says the company’s 7nm chips offer significantly high-performance and that helped win the confidence of PC OEMs. With the Ryzen products, in particular, and the leadership we have been able to drive in terms of core count, performance and battery life into our products, it has changed the way they [PC companies] collaborate with AMD. From the beginning, AMD was seen as the chip company undercutting Intel on price, despite building fast and powerful processors. AMD’s products were convincing but also fell short on performance when compared to Intel’s CPUs. But when Lisa Su, now regarded as o...

Understanding the Responsibilities of a Software Developer Software is an extensive stock of data, instructions, and information that direct the operations and functions of a computer. It’s incredible to think that the computers and all their features that we resort to help us perform different daily tasks are all created and regulated by a human, known as a software developer. A software developer is supposed to discern, design, build, download, install, and test-drive software systems for corporations. The software can be internal, aiding businesses in improving and ameliorating their operations, or external, where it is available for purchase. Being a software developer is one of the most rewarding jobs out there. It is undoubtedly very challenging, however, nothing compares to seeing something that you built from scratch come to life and help so many people. Read through this article to understand the responsibilities of a software developer. Needed Skills and Credentials T...

What does a Software Engineer do? Software engineering is a branch of computer science that includes the development and building of computer systems software and applications software. Computer systems software is composed of programs that include computing utilities and operations systems. Applications software consists of user-focused programs that include web browsers, database programs, etc. Software engineers have extensive knowledge of programming languages, software development, and computer operating systems, and they apply engineering principles to software creation. By applying these engineering principles to every stage of the development process, from requirements analysis to the software process, they can create customized systems for individual clients. Just as a civil engineer will make sure that a bridge has a solid foundation, a software engineer will also begin with a thorough study of requirements and work through the development process in a systematic way. ...
