DMS
the differences between dms and ems
DMS (Development & Design, Manufacturing, Service) refers to a comprehensive product development and manufacturing support framework that differs fundamentally from the conventional EMS (Electronics Manufacturing Service).
While EMS primarily handles mass production of pre-designed products, DMS engages from the earliest stages of product development—when ideas and concepts are still being formed—and provides end-to-end support across development, design, prototyping, mass production, quality assurance, and after-sales service.
Through close collaboration with clients from the concept stage, and by integrating design, manufacturing, and quality assurance from the outset, DMS ensures manufacturability, cost efficiency, and maintainability across a wide range of product variations. This proactive approach minimizes rework in later stages and enables the delivery of high-value, differentiated products.
- Full-Scope Engagement
End-to-end support from design to service with seamless continuity.
- Partial Engagement (Spot Services)
Support for specific processes as needed.
At the Miyagi Technology Center, we provide an integrated range of services including prototype board fabrication, prototype assembly, process development, FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis), and evaluation testing after design, as well as rework, reuse, and refurbishment support after product completion. This comprehensive approach enables us to support our customers’ manufacturing over the long term and from multiple perspectives.
Each of these production processes is strictly operated and managed under international quality management certification standards such as ISO 9001, IATF 16949, and ISO 13485.
The defining characteristic of our DMS is its role as a development partner that “co-creates product value.” DMS offers the optimal solution for customers who have innovative ideas but lack design and manufacturing resources, or who face challenges bridging the gap between design and manufacturing.
Key Features of DMS
A development framework that incorporates manufacturing and quality experts from the concept stage, enabling prototyping with a focus on quality, productivity, and optimized lead times.
Manufacturing services that provide more advanced reliability evaluation and production technology than conventional EMS.
Comprehensive solution services that include after-sales support, cost reduction in component sourcing, and additional value-added services.
Quality management systems aligned with international certifications, ensuring compliance in medical device and automotive sectors.
