How Lean Manufacturing Impacts and Adds Value to PCB Production

June 9, 2019 By

In an earlier paper, we established the importance of Design for Manufacturing (DFM) in today’s PCB manufacturing environment. PCBs designed using those techniques typically experience reduced failure rates, cost less to manufacture, and minimize waste during production. While DFM certainly … [Read more...]
