Rigid-flex circuit board manufacturer Printed Circuits Inc. has hired Ed Andrews as their director of quality systems. As an ASQ Certified Manager of Quality/Organizational Excellence and Lean/Six Sigma Green Belt Certified, Ed is ideally qualified to take PCi’s quality management systems to the next level.
Printed Circuits Inc. President and CEO Ken Tannehill said, "The circuit board manufacturing process, particularly rigid flex manufacturing, is comprised of 40 some highly interdependent processes. It takes a very unique individual who can grasp the interdependence, putting quality systems, SPC and checks in at each stage of manufacturing in order to improve our overall quality results and delivery performance. I am very excited to say we have found that individual in Ed. He will continue to be active in the Minnesota chapter of ASQ, as well as increasing PCi’s participation in IPC standards and conferences. Ed will bring a new level of oversight and development to our quality systems in order to continually improve our performance for our valued customers.”
