Medical Manufacturing companies looking for a partner for their custom electronic assemblies can be sure of compliant quality systems due to ADCO's FDA registration and ISO 13485 certification. ADCO's industry leading quality control systems and a manufacturing culture steeped in lean manufacturing and 5-S, combine with advanced material logistic processes, to deliver complex medical devices on-time, and on-budget.
ADCO has been a supplier to the Medical industry for much of our 25+ years in the industry. Familiarity with the associated quality requirements and supplier responsibilities have resulted in ADCO developing process's such as a web based customer quality documentation portal and an on-line CAPA system that empower customers to work with ADCO on a team basis.

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 repeatedly 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.
