Facilities, tangible capital assets (PP&E): key elements of a facility manufacturing model. Factories include factories and warehouses. Ownership includes land and rents. The equipment includes production tools and automated assembly machines. Third-party product manufacturing can result in cost savings and allow a company to focus on distributing or developing new products. JMW Solicitors can provide expert advice to ensure that your manufacturing contracts and contracts provide the degree of clarity and legal protection you need. Contracted (CM): a company that deals with product assembly, engineering services, order processing and product distribution. A CM usually works on behalf of an OEM. OEMs can also act as subcontractors. Request for Tender (RFQ): a document prepared by the OEM and submitted to the EMS supplier for the submission of the tender. It usually contains specifications and product quantities, as well as an AVL and parts list.

The tender should also contain key elements that the OEM will request from the contracted manufacturer in the MSA, such as existing commitments.B. Manufacturing and Supply Agreement (MSA): a contract that defines responsibilities and bridges the relationship between an OEM and a contract manufacturer. It describes what the EMS vendor must do for the OEM and at what “cost” to the vendor. It also describes what the OEM receives from the supplier and at what “price”. An MSA deals with prices for current and new products, inventory responsibility, and performance and service expectations. See also “Joint Service Agreement”. Low-Mix, High-Volume: an order manufacturing environment in which few assemblies are produced in large quantities. Mass production can take weeks or months if the same configuration is used. The conversion is minimal and the device usage rate is very high. Wage manufacturers are most efficient when operating with high quantities and minimal technical changes. In addition to the manufacture of electronic modules for Corvus` energy storage systems, the contract also includes support for the redesign of Corvus Energy`s product. With our expansionary growth and growing global interest in emission-free technology, it is important for us to have strategic and trustworthy suppliers over the long term. We are very pleased to sign this contract with Kitron as they are a very powerful and powerful purchasing partner for Corvus with an extensive global network,” said Nils Valland, Senior Vice President supply chain at Corvus Energy.

Intellectual property (IP): any product of the human intellect that is unique, new and unclear and has some value in the market. It includes ideas, inventions, business methods and manufacturing processes. Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS): a sector based on the provision of design, manufacturing and port services of contracted products on behalf of OEMs. Traditional services include the PCB team, box building, and testing. Today, EMS suppliers also offer many services such as supply chain management, global distribution, logistics, customer service and repair. However, all intellectual property belongs to the OEM. See also “Order Manufacturing” and “Subcontracting”. Joint Service Agreement (JSA): A document used in combination with a contract to define the processes, performance targets, and expectations of an OEM and contract manufacturer. The joint service agreement should be specific to how the work is carried out and evaluated.
