Low Product Cost
We help you achieve a lower product cost by capitalizing on the opportunities
available throughout Asia. We thoroughly evaluate potential suppliers to ensure
that they are capable of providing a reliable product in an efficient and cost
effective method. We review your components for potential cost savings. We
evaluate the production process to assure that we've taken advantage of the
local manufacturing methods and cost saving opportunities.

Low Management Cost
We can maintain a presence at your supplier so that you don't have to. We
represent you every step of the way. Our inspectors can be on site to approve
first articles, provide out of box audits and to perform process audits to ISO
standards. This means that you don't have to travel to Asia twice a month
because we are already there. Saving you time, reducing your overhead and
allowing your own resources to be used on other projects.

High Reliability
We can provide you a complete on site assessment of any of your potential or
existing suppliers. We thoroughly evaluate their ability to produce your product to
the standards and expectations you demand. We can set up a quality
management program to assure that your product is continually built to your
standards. Then we'll audit and manage that program to Six Sigma quality
concepts using Statistical Process Control while we constantly look for ways to
improve.

More Flexibility
Our team can manage your entire product supply chain or just a piece of it. We
can start with your design documents and deliver a high quality, reliable and low
cost product to your customers or we can provide specific services like prototype
management, supplier quality programs, supplier selection or sourcing. All of
these options are available to you as you need them. By leveraging the right
suppliers you can take advantage of the latest manufacturing techniques and
tools. And, you no longer need to make the large investment in additional human
resources or the latest electronic manufacturing equipment.
