Our Process
1. Manufacturing Assessment
3. Configure Production Work Streams
1. Manufacturing Assessment
- Review your bill of material (BOM), designs and schematics.
- Evaluate the lead time of key components.
- Conduct a complete evaluation of serviceability vs. cost effectiveness.
- Recommend substitutions to reduce lead time and improve product quality.
- Forecast volume requirements.
2. Cost Optimization
3. Configure Production Work Streams
1. Manufacturing Assessment
- Make recommendations for component substitution and process innovation.
- Identify opportunities for your organization to optimize for automation over labor-intensive tasks to reduce costs.
- Deliver a complete manufacturing process recommendation.
3. Configure Production Work Streams
3. Configure Production Work Streams
3. Configure Production Work Streams
- Assign key ECI personnel and technology assets to your program.
- Design a customized production plan for your products that emphasizes continuous process innovation and efficiency.
- Initiate machine configuration and resource allocation.
- Establish custom testing and inspection processes for quality control.
4. Source Raw Materials
6. Testing & Quality Control
3. Configure Production Work Streams
- Leverage ECI’s existing relationships with top-tier electronic component distributors and boutique manufacturers from all around the world to provide you with the lowest-possible material costs.
- Monitor and report on any new fluctuations in your supply chain.
- Finalize timelines for materials acquisition and initial prototype development.
- Establish a regular communication cadence once the prototyping phase begins.
5. Prototyping Development
6. Testing & Quality Control
6. Testing & Quality Control
- Initiate rapid prototype development in-house.
- Configure and setup initial production runs to test and evaluate product feasibility and performance against efficiency measures.
- Stress-test all core manufacturing processes for low and peak volume, based on your specific requirements.
- Proactively identify steps to optimize production processes to reduce rework, waste, and wait time.
6. Testing & Quality Control
6. Testing & Quality Control
6. Testing & Quality Control
- Utilize ECI’s proprietary quality control techniques and technologies to implement custom testing and inspection procedures for your unique product.
- Identify opportunities to implement additional “stage-gate” testing to improve pass rates.
- Implement ECI’s Quality Best Practices throughout the entire production process.
7. Product & Manufacturing Optimization
8. Prepare for Pilot or Full-Production Run
8. Prepare for Pilot or Full-Production Run
- Monitor and review performance data from initial prototype runs.
- Evaluate KPIs with all each of your product, engineering, and manufacturing stakeholders.
- ECI will make design and process recommendations to optimize for full-scale production.
- Determine opportunities for additional efficiency gains and cost-reduction through minor adjustments to the design, or production process.
- Implement new schematic and fine-tuned manufacturing process.
8. Prepare for Pilot or Full-Production Run
8. Prepare for Pilot or Full-Production Run
8. Prepare for Pilot or Full-Production Run
- Manage operations for end-to-end product production in house.
- Test, learn, and optimize processes to achieve manufacturing excellence at scale.
- Integrate your customer feedback directly into production, testing and custom calibration.
- Allocate extra machine capacity to enable you to ramp-up quickly as market demand takes off.
- Establish a regular communication cadence to monitor and evaluate production performance.
- Make any adjustments to the program as needed based on customer feedback.
