Contract Manufacture

Out-sourcing of the manufacturing process (and sometimes the design stage) is gaining popularity because it enables companies to concentrate on the development and marketing of their products, and minimises capital investment.

However, it is important that company's fully specify their requirements, including the level of reliability necessary for their end customers. High reliability applications require careful testing at the design stage and the use of reliability enhancement techniques during manufacture.

Contract manufacturers need flexible solutions that allow them to spread the cost of reliability test systems over a number of customers, thereby enabling them to offer enhanced facilities at an economical price.
