In most printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs), every component is critical to its performance. The process used to source, purchase and schedule approved components has an impact on the final build’s time to customer, as well as possibly its quality.
Across the world, there is continued growth in the manufacturing base of PCBAs as much as 6% over the next two years. In this blog, we’ll discuss why supply chain management is now more important than ever for PCBA contractors.
The effects of globalization combined with intermittent and unexpected disruptions are pushing supply chain logisticians to the brink. The timely sourcing of quality components requires a robust supply chain strategy with proven results to answer customer demand.
Here are the top three SCM considerations to keep in mind when choosing a PCBA contractor today.
With more component manufacturers now available, having a global sourcing and procurement strategy with a wide network of suppliers should be one of the first considerations when assessing PCBA contractors.
A PCBA contractor should have a change management system in place that quickly adapts and tracks changes to a bill of materials (BOM) for each production run.
Finally, a quality PCBA contractor will have an agile manufacturing and supply chain logistics process to help your business succeed. Changes in forecasts, returns, and repairs, and passive stock management should be part of the service the contractor provides.
Look for a PCBA manufacturing contractor with an agile SCM service that can handle your inbound or return logistics.
