“Arcamed has taken significant steps over the past year to establish itself as the partner of choice for OEM’s and contract manufacturers.”
Orthopedic original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are currently under increasing competitive pricing and regulatory pressure. This leaves little room for anything but excellence from the OEM supply chain. We are seeing OEMs rightfully demand excellence from their case-tray providers, who should in-turn partner with the OEM to ensure an effective, efficient, and on-time product launch or market expansion. In conversations with others in the industry, we are often asked, “What are you doing that’s different?” or “Why Arcamed?”
Arcamed has responded to this industry demand by reinforcing our commitment to a partnership-driven approach, aligning closely with the OEMs and other contract manufacturers to deliver reliable, high-quality solutions with a focus on speed, quality, and efficiency.
Industry Challenges
Competitive Pressure: New market entrants and new product introductions serve to limit the market life of the OEMs IP-protected product launches. Arcamed’s focus to provide industry-leading lead times and on-time delivery performance-for both prototype and production-ensures that the OEM is able to maximize their product launch.
Pricing Pressure: OEMs strive to improve operational efficiencies, both internally, if applicable, and through their supply chain, without sacrifcying performance. Arcamed’s competitive pricing and value focus enables the OEM to meet the demands of both its product team and procurement team.
Regulatory Pressure: Today’s medical manufacturing landscape requires OEM’s to constantly improve quality control to prevent costly product recalls and enhance patient safety. Arcamed’s robust quality management system and extensive use of quality inspection and reporting technology allows the OEM to be secure in knowing that their case-tray partner will support its regulatory compliance efforts.
Arcamed’s Commitment to Partnership
According to a survey conducted by Medical Product Outsourcing, OEM’s are concerned about the impact of their supply chain’s focus on cost reduction vs. value delivered. A direct quote from a respondent read, “Movement away from relationships toward transactional is very concerning, and will not work in this industry.”
Arcamed has taken significant steps over the past year to establish itself as the partner of choice for OEM’s and contract manufacturers. Our “partnership mentality” approach centers on delivering solutions that alleviate common industry pain points, including customer experience, improved communication, lead time management, quality assurance, and cost control.
