EMS Manufacturing Case Studies

Case Studies

The useful part is the decision, not the marketing claim.

These cases show how manufacturing, sourcing and test decisions are evaluated when cost, risk and volume pull in different directions.

BOM COST

How to reduce component cost without trading away qualification confidence

Review price drivers, availability, alternate qualification and customer-supplied parts as separate decisions rather than one blanket cost-down exercise.

LOW VOLUME TEST

Only 80 units a year. Would you still build a dedicated fixture?

The answer depends on test time, failure consequences, repeatability and how much manual judgment the process contains.

THERMAL PCB

4-layer FR4 or 2-layer aluminum core?

Compare not only PCB purchase price but thermal path, copper/via design, assembly impact and total manufacturing cost.

Have Gerber, BOM and assembly files ready?

Send your released files and manufacturing requirements. Qtech can review manufacturability, sourcing and test execution before quotation.
