From my perspective the top 4 or 5 items to consider foroutsourcing printed circuit board assembly are the following not necessarily inthe order presented.- Financial control of cost of component placement, cost ofmaterials product and finish cost of product.
- Ability to deliver quality product in a timely fashion.
- Quality systems within facility to monitor quality cost andprocess yields, including an internal cost savings program.
- Qualified and certified personnel working on the productincluding engineering staff to work assembly drawing issues andinterpretations.
- Close businessrelationship with customer utilizing dedicated service managers working withindividual customer.
