The term Electronics ManufacturingServices (EMS) used for companies which test, manufacture, distribute, and provide return/repair services for electronic components and assemblies for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). The concept also refers to electronics contract manufacturing (ECM). While the essential economic benefits of outsourcing or offshore sourcing differ from company to company, it is no withholding that manufacturing outsourcing has seen a steady uptrend over the past couple of decades. With clear benefits regarding production efficiency, reduced overhead, labor costs, and faster new product introductions, to list a few, today OEMs continue to collaborate with EMS’s to develop their products. A productive business environment for most Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) was created with the rising demand for electronic devices and components to work with overseas component manufacturers and electronic manufacturing service (EMS) providers.

In the context of manufacturing, the difference between PCB repair and rework have become a talk of the town with much discussion and confusion. The only reason behind this is due to numerous industry specifications, which are rarely written in simple English and more jargon and legalese. If you google to know the difference between repair and rework, you will not just get one but an immense array of answers. According to the recent study, the difference between repair and rework is much simpler than anything. Let us first understand the about of Repair and Rework. Bringing a non-conforming part back into conformance by simply reprocessing a prior sequence is known as rework, whereas using methods outside the original process is known as repair. Let us now review two synopses of non-conformance. Illustration of Rework At the process inspection, drilled hole is found to be .005 undersized at the sequence of 25; however, the root cause was determined due to worn ...

Now you must be wondering what a full-service provider is? Well, to let you know it is one who handles every aspect of building a PCB assembly. The best way to go about is by giving out your specifications and requirements to the service provider who will later take care of everything, right from ordering all the components of the PCBs, assembling the PCBs as per your specifications, and fabricating the PCBs.
