If you work for an OEM, you’ve likely been there. You’ve sent out the specification for the control panel or wiring assembly. You’re keeping an eye on the timeline. But instead of seeing steady progress, you’re chasing updates - or worse, reworking something that should have been done right the first time. Sound familiar?
You probably know all too well the pain points that can come with managing outsourced electrical assemblies from a third party. Delays. Miscommunication. Quality that misses the mark. A supply chain that feels more like a guessing game than a streamlined process.At Tec-Stop, we understand these challenges, because we’ve seen them first hand. That’s why we’ve built our approach around solving the real issues OEM teams face every day, from slow turnaround and unclear accountability, to inconsistent quality and fragmented vendor relationships. Let’s break down some of the most common frustrations in the OEM supply chain - and look at how Tec-Stop are transforming the experience, from initial spec to final delivery.
OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer. In simple terms, OEM refers to a company that produces parts, components, or systems that are used in another company’s final product.
Here are a few industry examples:
OEMs are the backbone of industrial production. They might make control panels, wiring assemblies, or mechanical components that are integrated into larger machines or systems. The end product is typically branded and sold by another company, but the parts behind the scenes come from the OEM.
When it comes to cars, an OEM might be a well-known manufacturer like Ford or Toyota. The parts that come directly from the carmaker, like brake pads, headlights, control panels or engine components, are called OEM parts. They’re designed to meet the exact specifications of the original vehicle, unlike aftermarket parts, which are produced by third-party manufacturers.
In consumer electronics, an OEM might build hardware components like motherboards, processors, or screens that are then assembled into devices by brands such as Dell, HP, or Apple. While the brand name on the box might be familiar, many of the internal parts are sourced from OEMs behind the scenes.
“I spend half my day chasing suppliers.”
You need answers, not radio silence. When a supplier goes quiet or misses a milestone, your whole project timeline takes the hit.
“We’ve had to rework it... again.”
Delays, defects, or a control panel that just doesn’t quite work as it should. When quality is inconsistent, the cost isn’t just financial. It affects trust, team confidence, and delivery credibility.
“We’re juggling too many suppliers for one outcome.”
One supplier for the harness. One for the enclosure. Another for diagnostics, with a further for the control panel. It’s too much. Fragmented sourcing for OEM parts and OEM components means more admin, more risk, and more things to chase.
At Tec-Stop, we help you to cut through the noise and simplify your supply chain. Our clients come to us because they’re ready to stop firefighting - and start leading.
