Process Capabilities

Far East Resources enters no exclusive representation agreements with its vendor base, we are only limited by the capabilities of those vendors we source from. By choosing to remain a "free agent" in the industry, and not being confined by one-to-one relationship with our supplier base, we can bring any and all the advantages from any supplier in any country we have offices in.

Cost Factors for PCB Sourcing

There are any number of variables that could have effect the cost of a PCB. The following parameters should be considered when designing/purchasing PCB's:

Manufacturing Concerns

Size of production release quantities
Number of layers
Effective use of panelization (Effective panelization allows for no or minimal panel scrap, and takes in account the efficiencies based upon the supplier's largest allowable panel size)
Other laminate efficiencies (This relates to how efficient the supplier's working production panel is based on the size of the board, and the scrap rate per production panel)
Manufacturing Yield
Manufacturing Equipment Efficiency
Number of holes
Number of sizes of holes
Hole size density (Number of holes per square inch)
Special hole requirements (blind via, buried via, tight tolerance via [6 mils and below], etc.)

Copper Plating Tolerances
Choice of Laminate Material
Special Laminate Usage (Teflon, Mylar, etc.)
Additive Plating Requirements (Entek, Corfin, OSP, Gold plating, etc.)
Trace Width Requirements
Line Spacing Requirements
Special Board Features (control impedance, RF requirements, etc.)
Special Packaging Requirements (ESD material, etc.)
Outline Dimensioning Issues
Capacity Restraints
Ease of Manufacturability

Transportation Concerns

Overall weight of shipment
Shipment Frequency
Final Destination (if located outside the service area of an international airport, custom facilities, etc.)

Mode of Transportation (Whether it is ocean or air transport)

Purchasing Concerns

Purchasing Leverage with Supplier Base
Number of Suppliers
Consolidating the frequency of purchase for a single commodity

Effective planning and forecasting strategies
Inventory control issues
