Companies should take the time to review their PCB suppliers before selecting them. This information-gathering process will help you maintain a competitive edge and provide high-quality end products.
Audits of electronic or PCB suppliers involve qualitative and quantitative assessments to determine whether the supplier meets the customer's standards. Most audits are conducted prior to doing business with the vendor. However, some companies will also conduct regular audits after an agreement has been reached. Each enterprise has its own way to evaluate potential and current suppliers. These assessments cover all aspects of the supply chain.
