Client Challenge
A leading electronics manufacturer was struggling with a persistent quality issue on one of their key PCB assemblies. Despite best efforts, the board was yielding only a 70% pass rate, resulting in significant rework, increased costs, and delays in production.
Solution
The company partnered with Assembly Solutions, leveraging their expertise in high-reliability PCB assembly and process optimization. Assembly Solutions took over the production of the board and implemented process refinements, quality control improvements, and expert handling from their technicians.
Results
After Assembly Solutions took over the assembly:
- Pass yields increased from 70% to over 97%
- Rework and scrap rates dropped dramatically
- The quality improvement was so substantial that the client no longer felt the need to develop a dedicated tester for the board
