Most CMOs will provide some design support, but not complete product development. Can the CMO you choose drive down costs and improve efficiencies in any phase of the product’s life cycle by supplying automated solutions, fresh designs, or raw materials for production? If you are lucky enough to find a CMO that has an evaluation process to recommend quick process improvements, suggest long-term redesigns, and optimize the supply-chain as a matter of course, then you have found a strong partner for the entire product life cycle.
