Reduced costs thanks to thorough preparation.
By following our guide, you can supply even better samples and pre-series products for perfect series production, enhancing your standing with your customers. This ultimately allows you to deliver a design that is ready for series production and save the customer expensive revision loops.
It’s all about series production.
In RAFI, you are recommending a reliable production partner to your customers – and customers appreciate this. At the same time, RAFI works with you to set up life-cycle management efficiently and with minimal red tape. This is how we lay the foundation for a long-term partnership with one clear objective: shared success.
As you know, the sample type defines the entire process. That’s why it’s essential to clarify, right from the outset, whether you or your customer need a functional sample or a qualification sample.
If you think ahead with a focus on production from an early stage, you can reduce time to market. You should contact your EMS partner as early as possible to arrange procurement. That’s because component procurement is almost always time-critical in electronics. The same questions come up time and again, so we would like to answer them for you here.
In many projects, the EMS partner is brought on board too late – at least, that’s what most EMS manufacturers think. However, timely involvement opens up a wide range of potential optimizations for you.
To answer this question, one thing is crucial: communication between you and your EMS partner – the sooner the better. Test requirements can then be discussed and a test concept mutually agreed on. The focus is always on compliance with the agreed specifications and the functionality of your products.
Automation can save you time and money – provided it is meaningful and used appropriately. To find out, you should ask the following questions before the start of the process.
Optimization is always a good idea, and optimizing parts lists is no exception. But why are optimized parts lists necessary in the first place, and what exactly do they look like?
The better the input, the better the output. Of course, this is also true for the production of samples, prototypes, and assemblies. That’s why data quality is crucial for the success of the project. This will not only make your production partner’s work easier but will also speed up the entire process. And it will reduce your workload significantly. Once implemented, you can base every subsequent project on this.
