Stop Margin Erosion: Mastering Manufacturing & Labor Costing in the US EMS Market

Join EMS market experts Sam Mason and Márton Teker for a 30-minute executive briefing on one of the most acute financial risks in US electronics manufacturing: uncontrolled labor costing in a volatile, margin-sensitive market.

This session reveals how leading EMS organizations are replacing fragile spreadsheets and outdated ERP costing forms with a factory-accurate costing engine that guarantees margins, accelerates quoting, and protects profitability.

What US EMS Leaders Will Learn

  1. Stabilize labor costing in an unstable labor market: How to model precise labor effort despite rising churn, skill shortages, inconsistent utilization, and increasing overhead recovery pressure.

  2. Defensible, margin-positive pricing in a seller’s market: Why EMS providers have leverage — and how accurate, transparent costing helps you embed and defend stronger margins in every RFQ.

  3. Quote in minutes, not days: How to eliminate the typical 3–7 day quoting bottleneck caused by spreadsheets, copy-paste workflows, and scattered data sources - turning slow guesswork into instant, data-driven costing.

  4. Full transparency and version control: Why uncontrolled spreadsheet versions undermine strategic pricing - and how automated, auditable costing prevents quoting errors that erode profit.

  5. Live 7-minute demonstration: See how Luminovo ingests complex BOM, PCB, and P&P data and calculates setup time, cycle time, operator effort, overhead, and unit cost in seconds - based on your factory’s real processes, not generic templates.

Why This Matters Right Now

Labor costs are unstable: High turnover, training cycles, and utilization volatility make spreadsheets and static ERP costing models dangerously inaccurate.

Quoting errors are expensive: A single cycle-time mistake or outdated routing assumption can eliminate profitability on a high-volume contract — often unnoticed until it’s too late.

Slow quotes lose deals: OEMs in 2025 expect same-day responses. EMS providers quoting late lose margin and market share.

Leaders are moving to automated costing: US EMS innovators are shifting from manual tools to factory-accurate, scenario-based costing that reflects real machine behavior, operator constraints, and routing options.

What You Will See in the Demo

  • Instant BOM ingestion: Full parsing of component data, technology classification, and quantity mapping.

  • Accurate, factory-specific costing: SMT, THT, test, backend, and overhead - all calculated using a structured Factory Twin of your processes.

  • Scenario simulations: Compare routings, batch sizes, and line setups side-by-side, with cycle times recalculated instantly.

  • Margin guarantees: See how precise time modeling supports higher pricing, defensible negotiations, and fewer margin surprises.

Who Should Attend

  • EMS CEOs, CFOs & COOs

  • Heads of Quoting, Engineering, and Operations

  • Program & Account Managers

  • Anyone responsible for revenue, pricing accuracy, or operational efficiency in US EMS organizations
