Disputed

There are no citations for the introductory paragraph, the one that explains the term. Additionally, the citations given in the rest of the article don't make any mention at all to this DMS concept. Curious, I decided to check Google Books to see if the term "design manufacture service" is even being used in published material. This is the search I used. There are numerous mentions of these words in a series, delimited by commas, but not in this exact context. And I can only find one use that while still in serial format still mentions the concept of having someone else do these task for you. If this indeed a common term used in the manufacturing world, then we need some public citations to back that assertion up. Otherwise, I have to dispute this particular article's factual nature.
