  OVERVIEW:

      This presentation will cover issues that can and do occur on customer products related to design issues and will focus on key criteria that should be addressed when working with any EMS provider in order to enable virual zero-defect manufacturing and -- more importantly -- avoid continuous engineering support requirements from the OEM and ensure that delivery expectations are met. This topic will be of particular interest to Component Engineers, Quality/Reliability Engineers, and Manufacturing Technology Engineers.
