How Does Your EMS Partner Ensure Product Quality And Reliability?
As a supply chain or buyer manager, what do you expect from an electronics manufacturing services (EMS) partner? Of course, competitive pricing, fast delivery, and prompt responsiveness are all your concerns, but you also want quality and reliability. And, when you're ready to place an order with a new partner, there are still some doubts about its quality and reliability - you can't really be sure about that until much later, when that partner starts delivering your items.
Automation Quality and Reliability
Fortunately, an electronics manufacturing services (EMS) partner that offers quality and reliability at the right price has a few metrics to help you identify. One of the most important is an efficient automated method. After all, why would the level of automation of your EMS partner factory interest you? The premise is the customers they have worked with and the work they have completed. In fact, there are many reasons to be interested, here are a few:
Consistency: Automated processes are consistent, but this is not the case for manual methods (such as manual inserts, manual soldering, etc.), especially those involving repetitive tasks. Once automated processes are set up and their performance verified, follow-through reliably delivers consistent results (reliable quality) time and time again.
Responsiveness: Automated design, manufacturing and testing processes can be configured quickly and efficiently to quickly adapt to new products. And when demand for a product changes, you can make changes with minimal impact on price and delivery, which enables fast delivery of new products and reduced time-to-market.
Efficiency: An inherent feature of modern automation systems is high productivity. This means fast turnaround times for even the largest orders. And because some additional manual processes are eliminated, the cost is also reduced, which also means pricing can be done at a lower cost.
Traceability: Because of automated production and testing methods, every step of the manufacturing process is well documented. This provides traceability to the full manufacturing process of the product, and also allows for continuous process monitoring, which can then be corrected before product quality is affected, reducing product quality non-compliance.
Proximity: Automation provides a solid foundation for effective project management and supports a shared language that facilitates communication between electronics manufacturing services (EMS) providers and their customers. This leads to better mutual understanding and ultimately improved product quality.
