Companies are increasingly looking for ways to reduce manufacturing costs while optimizing product quality and safety, but many need help to perform these tasks in-house. In the past, companies turned to Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) for help as they could still have their products manufactured under their company brand. However, OEMs are often resource-constrained (tight on money), leading to difficulties operating lean and reliable manufacturing operations. This is where contract assembly and sub-contracting services are becoming viable alternatives.

This method is often used in manufacturing when the products are too big or complex to be assembled in one step. It improves efficiency and flexibility in the manufacturing procedure while providing more accessible transportation of components between warehouses. It provides an efficient way to automate the manufacturing process without compromising the quality of the final piece. When done skillfully, it can reduce both launch time and cost and still deliver a top-quality product.
Sub-assembly can also be known as:
- Contract sub-assembly
- Attachment sub-assembly
- Component assembly
- Sub-component assembly
- Sub-product assembly
- Sub-assembly manufacturing
