Strengthened supplier relationships

In addition to our internal improvements, we have also been actively working on strengthening our relationships with our suppliers. By fostering long-term Partnerships and collaborating closely with our suppliers, we have been able to secure better pricing for raw materials and components without sacrificing quality.

Benefits of our supplier partnerships

Our strong supplier partnerships offer several advantages that contribute to the overall price reduction:

1. Bulk purchasing: By placing larger orders with our suppliers, we can benefit from volume discounts, which we can then pass on to our customers.

2. Consistent quality: Our long-standing relationships with suppliers ensure that we consistently receive high-quality materials, reducing the risk of defects and rework.

3. Faster lead times: With streamlined communication and prioritized orders, our suppliers can deliver materials more quickly, enabling us to reduce our overall lead times.

Commitment to quality and customer satisfaction

Despite the significant price reduction, we remain fully committed to maintaining the highest standards of quality for our PCBs. Our rigorous quality control processes, which include automated optical inspection (AOI), X-ray inspection, and Functional Testing, ensure that every PCB that leaves our facility meets or exceeds our customers’ expectations.

Quality control measures

To provide our customers with peace of mind, we have implemented a comprehensive quality control system that encompasses the following measures:

1. Incoming material inspection: All raw materials and components are thoroughly inspected upon arrival to ensure they meet our strict quality standards.

2. In-process quality checks: Throughout the manufacturing process, our team conducts regular quality checks to identify and address any potential issues early on.

3. Final inspection: Before packaging and shipping, each PCB undergoes a final inspection to verify its functionality, appearance, and conformance to customer specifications.

Faster turnaround times

In addition to the price reduction, we have also been working on improving our turnaround times. By optimizing our production scheduling, streamlining our processes, and investing in automation, we have been able to significantly reduce our lead times without compromising on quality.

Improved lead times for standard and custom PCBs

The following table showcases the improved lead times for our standard and custom PCB offerings:

PCB Type	Previous Lead Time	New Lead Time
Standard	10-15 business days	7-10 business days
Custom	20-25 business days	15-20 business days

With these faster turnaround times, our customers can bring their products to market more quickly, gaining a competitive edge in their respective industries.
