Automotive Industry Electronics is growing and becoming more specialized as the number of car models increase and unique features and options flourish. At the same time, the industry is maintaining its reputation as the most demanding customer for high quality and low cost. These facts lend themselves to ADCO's strengths as a TS-16949 certified supplier with industry leading logistic capabilities and a manufacturing culture steeped in lean manufacturing and 5-S.

ADCO has been a supplier to the Auto industry for most of our 25+ years in the industry. We are very familiar with the quality requirements and supply responsibilities that all automotive suppliers bear to enable assembly plants to run uninterrupted by supply or quality issues. Our quality engineers are very familiar with PPAP's, FMEA's, and the various company specific program launch quality processes.

ADCO's manufacturing processes produce highly reliable product (12 PPM defect levels),
and a detailed approach to customer service insures ongoing program success.
|
|
Program Management is the beginning of ADCO's success:
|
- Project plans formulated in Microsoft Project.
- A defined and reliable New Product Introduction (NPI) process that starts with an Advanced Production Quality Planning (APQP) process.
- Customer focused teams comprised of program manager, material buyer, production planner, manufacturing line leader, and quality inspectors.
- For product design requirements, ADCO is well staffed to manage schematic design, board layout, and mechanical design tasks.
- If test design is required, ADCO can create the technical specification and fabricate the fixture(s).
|
|
Material Control and Planning is a large element of the risk associated with any electronic assembly, and to a large extent, also determines success or failure. In meeting delivery objectives every program has its unique challenges and ADCO repeatably delivers quality product on-time because of effective systems and processes to manage and monitor the flow of material.
|
- Flexible contract management adaptive to the customers Forecast-KanBan or Forecast-Firm-Release systems.
- Advanced ERP planning with an exclusive multi-level forecast system where forecasts are "flowed down" multiple levels directly to components (not just "planned demand" from parents) and shared directly with vendors to ensure supply without having to issue releases too far into the future.
- Automated PO release and replenishment system on-line with the leading distributors.
- On-line documentation integrated with the P.O. release system for custom fabricated components.
- Item specific quality codes integrated with the purchasing and incoming inspection systems.
- Automated stockroom with barcode scanning and lot tracking.

Advanced Manufacturing and Test Capabilities at ADCO are meeting today's industry challenges that include RoHS compliance, challenging designs (0201's, micro BGA's etc.), and increased product reliability requirements. ADCO's continuous investment in training, capital equipment, and process development, result in a world class manufacturing and test facility that is the basis for our strong delivery and quality ratings.
