Tramonto Circuits is pleased to announce that overall on-time delivery (OTD) in 2017 increased to 94.96%. This key performance indicator confirms Tramonto Circuits’ commitment to improvement and customer requirements. 

Motivated by a company poll that showed customers’ top two requirements for their printed circuit board suppliers were “quality” and “on time delivery,” Tramonto Circuits set aggressive goals and included them as key performance indicators (KPI) for 2017. The goal set for OTD was 95% overall, and the goal for RMA requests was twelve or less.

The overall OTD improved to 94.96% for 2017 and a total of 12 RMAs were recorded. This improvement included a 20% increase in part numbers shipped. These numbers, although lofty, show the commitment the company has made to its customers.

“We have improved our OTD by nearly a percentage point again this year,” said President John Talbot. “We have already set 95% OTD goals again for 2018 and strive to improve our RMA numbers as well. Our staff is proud of the accomplishment and stand ready to improve in the coming year.”

The concern for quality control and reduced product variation can be traced back centuries. Archaic quality control methods were used by the Xia Dynasty in 2100 BC in ancient China. During the late 1290s in medieval Europe, guilds—the pre-cursor to unions—were responsible for product and service quality. From 1700 to 1900, product quality was determined by the individual craftsman’s efforts. At the close of the 19th century, Eli Whitney introduced standardized, interchangeable parts to simplify assembly.
