June 17, 2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
How a company manages its inventory has a tremendous effect on its financials. This is also true for PCB manufacturing. But, as with most things regarding printed circuit board manufacturing, nothing is as simple as in other business segments.
Materials management is nuanced, multifaceted, and requires a holistic systems approach for business success. Beyond supply management, panel utilization and handling are critically important yield considerations. When you are building higher mix, lower volumes, and high technology, material management and overall cost containment is an even greater challenge. It is no surprise that the PCB industry is abuzz with energy around material matters.
In the June 2024 issue of PCB007 Magazine, we discuss materials in all its relevancy to PCB manufacturing and invite you to dive into all things material.
