Commercial and Industrial company requirements are typically low to mid-volume, high mix, and complex. As a result, these programs are difficult to forecast. For over 25+ years, ADCO has been servicing this market and perfecting the systems and processes that enable quick and controlled program launches. Post launch, ADCO is able to favorably react to challenging schedule and design changes. All at a competitive cost.

ADCO's industry leading logistic and quality systems (ISO 9001, ISO 13485 and TS 16949 certified) provide customer support by reducing inventory risk and offering a reliable system of continuous improvement. These include an ERP system that can separate forecasted and firm released orders multiple levels deep in a bill of material, a web based customer portal for efficient document and information transmission, and an on-line Quality Management System (QMS) supported by on-line documentation, quality data tracking, and corrective action systems. All of these systems contribute to delivering quality products on time.

If engineering is a requirement, ADCO's in-house team can support projects from concept through New Product Introduction and Functional Test development.
ADCO's high level of performance in this challenging market is documented via two critical statistics: 98+% on-time delivery and an overall quality rating of 148 ppm for our high-mix, low to mid volume customers (high volume ppm is below 25).

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 custom 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.
|
- Design review for manufacturability and testability.
- On-line documentation with standard work instructions / methods that promote constant improvement and sustain consistent quality.
- 5-S, Kaizen, and Lean Manufacturing disciplines result in a well organized and efficient manufacturing space.
- Manufacturing area is environmentally and ESD controlled. 2 Flex-SMT lines with micro-BGA and 0201 capability.
- In-line Automated Optical Inspection (AOI).
- Lead-free wave and reflow process.
- In-line conformal coating.
- Dedicated cells for system / box builds.
- Staff of degreed engineers supporting test and de-bug.

ADCO's Quality Management System (QMS) is the foundation upon which the Program Management, Material Management, and Manufacturing / Test rest. The QMS sets the rules for operating, tracks quality data, and is the basis for continuous improvement.
|
- ISO-9002, ISO-13485, and ISO/TS-16949 certified.
- AS-9000 compliant.
- On-line QMS system providing logical access to procedures and forms to ensure their use and adherence
- In-house training and certification to IPC 610 Class II and III workmanship standards.
- On-line quality data system (production yield data, vendor quality data, etc)
- On-line Corrective Action / Preventative Action (CAPA) system
- Web based customer portal for easy data transmittal.
