CEA Improves Efficiency and Quality with Weller Soldering Tools
By Bob Doetzer, President, Circuit Technology, Inc.
blers, Inc. (CEA) specializes in developing and manufacturing printed circuit board (PCB) assemblies, cable assemblies and re- lated electronic products. The company offers a full range of servic-
A
es from simple prototype assemblies to full turnkey solutions, giving customers maxi- mum flexibility when choosing the level of service required. CEA currently operates in a 50,000 ft2 (4,645m2) state-of-the-art fa- cility with the ability to expand for future growth. Specializing in medical and indus- trial electronics, the company has three fully automated SMT lines, two wave sol- der lines and two selective solder lines.
Long-Term Loyalty CEA’s mission is to be an industry
leader in the field of electronics manufac- turing. The company is constantly im- proving its team members, processes and management in order to exceed cus- tomers’ expectations. President and own- er Steve Yauch says, “We are committed to unparalleled customer service and
leading contract electronics manufac- turer based in Smithfield, North Car- olina, Carolina Electronics Assem-
earning long-term customer loyalty.” This commitment to quality is at the forefront of each process it uses. CEA’s equipment and processes are optimized for maximum effi- ciency.
Highly trained and experienced produc-
tion personnel are able to recognize defects and potential problems in advance. A large part of the company’s success is attributed to
the employees. “If you find a dedicated, con- scientious group of individuals, give them the right tools and let them know they can im- pact their future as well as that of the com- pany as a whole, success just seems to come on its own,” says Yauch. He adds that CEA takes a team ap-
proach to problem solving and as such, con- ducts frequent “in-process” inspections to guarantee delivery of the highest-quality products and services to customers. The complete satisfaction of each
customer is CEA’s top priority, and that pledge is the foundation upon which the company stakes its reputation. One of the aspects that CEA has taken to live up to that pledge is to best manage its lead times for maximum efficiency and quality. Yauch comments that doing so sometimes takes keeping an open mind and thinking outside the box, especially when it comes to technologies that have been working well for an extended period of time.
