In practical terms, these are just two different names for the same thing. There may be different conventions in different industries. In the food & beverage manufacturing business, I have seen the term toll manufacturing come up, rather than contract manufacturing. That is only anecdotal though. A more important consideration is whether the contract manufacturer is operating on a turnkey or consignment basis. A turnkey contract manufacturer (the more typical arrangement) will buy the raw materials to be used in the production process and own the inventory, including finished goods. A consignment contract manufacturer does not take title to raw materials, work in progress or finished goods; the contracting party retains title throughout the process. |
