Beyond EMS: Dynamic EMS Offers Production Solutions Architecture
By Gordon Macdonald, Process Improvement Manager, Dynamic EMS N
o two customers are the same. Their products, their supply chains and their markets all
differ. This is why EMS companies, such as Dynamic EMS, strive to offer a tailor-made, electronics manufac- turing service to customers with a complex, highly diversified business. This is why the members of the
company do not refer to it as a tradi- tional EMS company, but more than that. Dynamic considers itself the original equipment manufacturer’s (OEM’s) “production solutions archi- tect.”
Design Phase Engagement In order to fulfill this role to the
best of their ability, the company’s team prefers to engage with cus-
tailored, yet “dynamic” PLC, Dynam- ic EMS offers consultation on how to design their product, taking the as- sembly process into consideration. Ultimately, in order to reach very ag-
Low-volume, high-mix companies can typically be more
flexible in the layout of their shop floors. This means that if a customer requires a certain configuration, Dynamic can accommodate in a timely manner.
tomers during the design phase of their product lifecycle. To simplify the customer’s journey through their
gressive, yet agile, forecasts, the need for manufacturing simplicity dictates the product design. This is referred to as design for assembly (DFA). Design for assembly is a process
by which products are designed with ease of assembly in mind. For exam- ple, if a product contains fewer elec- tronic component parts or the bill of materials (BOM) is simple in nature, it will naturally take less time to as- sembly, thereby reducing customers’ manufacturing costs. It is at this stage that the cus-
tomer sees the main cost benefit of design for assembly. Recognizing that time-to-market is vital, Dynam- ic EMS enables a smooth production introduction and seamless transition to volume manufacturing. This focus ensures that the customers maxi- mize their business opportunities with a timely market entry. Dynamic’s
customers, the
OEMs, are either established brands or startups. Both are technology com- panies with the same industry driv- ers.
MultiStrip 9480
The Most Versatile Cut & Strip Platform for Highest Precision

to the speed of innovation and ensure that its customers can leverage off the benefits that speed to market brings.
Supporting Speedy Introductions
Design for assembly is one of
the main driving factors that can be beneficial to support the need for speed. Working in a low-volume, high-mix (LV/HM), complex assem- bly environment, Dynamic has the benefit of altering its manufacturing setup to accommodate customers’ re- quirements. LV/HM EMS companies can
typically be more flexible in the lay- out of their shop floors, as they do not have the high demands that high- volume EMS players have. This means that if a customer requires a certain shop floor configuration to optimize production for higher yield, Dynamic can accommodate in a time- ly manner. At Dynamic EMS, the design of
the product will often influence the assembly process. This involves lay- out, but also the equipment used, re- sources required and production schedules. Only the most nimble EMS partners can react to these kinds of variables. The company’s adaptive and
agile approach delivers a responsive service for all customers and its in- vestment in technology enables it to manufacture and test the very latest products. This helps the company to empower its customers to scale and continue to develop, while achieving their critical time to market, yield and profit objectives. How does assembly influence
design? It certainly has a positive in- fluence, especially for complex as- sembly or customized product config- uration. The customer needs the process to be as seamless as possible, barriers to be removed and risk re- duced. On the flip side, design also has
a positive effect on assembly. If the EMS provider is prepared, early en- gagement, either directly with the customer or their design house part- ner, can alter the standard LV/HM manufacturing process to specifically
suit production requirements. Contact: Dynamic EMS, Ltd.,
