Highlights

Contract manufacturing is rapidly transforming the manufacturing landscape enabling businesses to minimize costs, achieve economies of scale, and capitalize on the labor arbitrage through a wide range of outsourced production activities.
Despite its benefits, many organizations still struggle with visibility across contract manufacturing operations – hindering their ability to manage risks and respond to disruptions.
TCS Crystallus™ Contract Manufacturing Services leverages Oracle cloud to bridge these visibility gaps by offering relevant stakeholders with a unified portal. This real-time view into supply and production status significantly reduces information asymmetry and drives smarter decision-making in the contract manufacturing lifecycle.

OVERVIEW

Solving the complexity of modern contract manufacturing.

Manufacturing organisations are increasingly recognizing the strategic advantages of partnering with specialized contract manufacturers to significantly reduce production costs, achieve economies of scale, and leverage labour arbitrage. However, managing multiple partners, complex supply chains, and fluctuating demand can be challenging.

Traditional enterprise solutions often fall short in providing the requisite digitalized solutions necessary for monitoring the intricate details of contract manufacturing. To effectively tackle these issues, organizations require enhanced transparency into production statuses and automated record keeping systems that facilitate real-time tracking of supplies and materials.
