MANUFACTURING PROCESS

Our electronic component procurement process

REQUIREMENTS ANALYSIS & STRATEGY DEVELOPMENT

We start by assessing your project needs and crafting a tailored sourcing strategy. By understanding your product specifications in detail, we develop a comprehensive plan that aligns with cost, quality, and lead time expectations.

STRATEGIC COMPONENT SOURCING

Our supply chain services involve sourcing electronic components through a diverse, trusted global network. We identify and source components that meet your exact needs, ensuring efficient production schedules and uninterrupted supply.

INVENTORY OPTIMIZATION

Our inventory management system tracks and balances stock levels and lead times, optimizing inventory without excess stock. By proactively managing component lead times, we ensure that the right parts are available at the right time, reducing inventory costs while keeping production on schedule.

OBSOLESCENCE MONITORING

We stay ahead of component obsolescence by tracking the lifecycle of each part used in production. Our proactive strategies include identifying and sourcing suitable replacements well before parts become scarce and mitigating potential disruptions to your operations.

BOM INTEGRITY & UPDATING

We manage your Bill of Materials (BOM) and continuously optimize it for accuracy and efficiency. This includes sourcing the necessary components and updating the BOM to reflect changes in part availability or specifications. Ensuring that the BOM is always current and optimized helps prevent disruptions and ensure smooth production.

PRODUCTION INTEGRATION

Once components are sourced, managed, and quality-assured, they are smoothly integrated into production. Our transparent workflows and rigorous coordination guarantee seamless handoffs, ensuring that your project progresses efficiently without delays.

“August provides us with turnkey electronics manufacturing services. August fits in with our operation because they are easy to work with, their prices are reasonable, they are flexible, and they deliver quality products. We like working with August because they do quality work, they deliver on time 90+% of the time. August is different than some of our other CMs because they are a one-stop shop manufacturer, meaning they will build circuit boards, and do a full assembly of the products that we require. We have realized many benefits from partnering with August such as: they are reliable, they help us to get quality products to our customers and they help us source parts and build our demo units.”
