AMI (Alternative Manufacturing, Inc.), a leading provider of high-quality PCB assembly (PCBA) solutions, proudly announces the achievement of 52 consecutive weeks of first pass yields at test, maintaining an exceptional success rate of 98.72% or better. This remarkable accomplishment underscores the company's unwavering commitment to manufacturing excellence, quality assurance, and customer satisfaction.

"Reaching 52 straight weeks of FPY at or above 98.72%" is more than just a milestone- it's a reflection of AMI's elimination of waste, dedication, in the pursuit of quality," said Steve Martin, the Vice President of Manufacturing. "This performance directly benefits our customers by ensuring faster delivery, lower defect rates, and greater confidence in our products."

First pass yield (FPY) is a critical metric in electronics manufacturing, reflecting the percentage of assemblies that pass all functional testing without requiring rework. Achieving consistently high FPY rates minimizes production delays, reduces costs, and affirms product reliability—making this achievement a key differentiator in the competitive PCBA landscape.

Martin continued, “As a 100% employee-owned company, each of our employees is committed to making quality a fundamental aspect of their daily responsibilities. This exceptional yield reflects the testing of over 141,000 products over the past year.”

This milestone was achieved through a combination of rigorous quality controls, investment in state-of-the-art equipment, highly skilled personnel, and a culture of continuous improvement. Whether serving aerospace, medical, industrial, or consumer electronics sectors, AMI continues to set the standard for excellence in PCBA manufacturing.
