The current price of PCB raw materials continues to rise in China, make PCB manufactures in Shenzhen China face great pressure, and even a hard-to-find picture emerges. In this situation, it is difficult to reduce the cost of raw materials.
However, if this link does not find a reliable supplier, it may bring additional cost of failure. For example, in order to save material costs, some circuit board manufacturers have found suppliers with little credibility, unfixed delivery terms, and no guarantee of supply. When they use materials, they may face shortages or long out of stock. The situation has caused irreversible losses. Therefore, we must be cautious when establishing partnerships with new suppliers.
In addition, the requirements for raw materials for circuit boards are relatively high. Inappropriate liquids ay lead to high rejection rates for boards. This also requires that circuit board manufacturers' purchases must be patiently tested to ensure the quality of liquids.
The so-called reduction of labor costs is not to reduce the wages of employees to achieve the purpose of reducing costs, but to reduce employees' error rate and improve their production efficiency.
Circuit board processes are numerous, long, and complicated. For the moment, most processes still rely on human operations. This requires fostering the sense of ownership of employees. When products are found to be abnormal, they must be investigated as problems in their own processes; always pay attention to whether the management of the liquid concentration is within the scope; and whether the production status of the equipment is normal.
An employee with a good working attitude can significantly reduce the scrap rate of the product and greatly reduce production costs. Therefore, the training and management of employees is the most important task in cost control.
The PCB process is long and there is a lot of room to control in the production cost. Production costs include: raw material control; hydropower control; scrap rate control; process control.
