As a customer of EMS services, it can be a frustrating experience when trying to optimize a design for quality and price in production. It is typical for manufacturers not to provide information to clients for optimization, which can lead to unanticipated higher cost, lower yields and quality, potentially requiring the need for additional product design revision to better suit a given manufacturing process.

Acknowledging this disconnect, IDERS partners wherever possible with clients to ensure smooth and successful transitions from engineering to manufacturing. We have compiled a series of DFM (design for manufacturing guidelines which take the risk and guesswork out of DFM. We are continuously adding to these guidelines to reflect current information and trends yielding better manufactured output.
