Product Optimization
Through Early Stage Customer Engagement
WELLER’ early involvement in the design cycle can provide customers with a product that is more cost effective and has increased manufacturability, quality and reliability through its entire lifecycle. During our involvement in design reviews, we’ll focus on key areas throughout the cycle and provide critical feedback to address potential issues and ensure a successful new product introduction. Design reviews can also be categorized by material (Design for Supply Chain), test (Design for Testability), PCB fabrication (Design for Fabrication), assembly (Design for Assembly) and manufacturing (Design for Manufacturing).
