Last month, one of our customer a Bangalore based electronics product manufacturer was ordering a batch of 500 PCBAs from a supplier in Ahmedabd. The delivery was critical – they had a deadline to meet for their defense customer and any delay would mean penalties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They contacted us at Zenaca Consulting to do a pre-shipment inspection before the supplier ships the goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here’s what we found:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Out of the 500 PCBAs inspected, we identified\u00a038 boards with soldering defects<\/strong>\u00a0(cold joints, bridging) and\u00a023 boards with wrong component placements<\/strong>. That’s over 7% rejection rate!<\/a>\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n If these boards had been shipped without inspection, here’s what would have happened:<\/p>\n\n\n\n What Actually Happened:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Our inspection report was shared within 24 hours. The supplier immediately started rework on the defective pieces. Within 3 days, all 500 boards were ready and shipped – meeting the original timeline.<\/a>\u200b Our team also worked with supplier on setting up their SMT processes, so that they doesnt’ produce these defects again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Total savings for Supplier<\/b> and customer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Another Quick Example:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n An Israel based company was importing Hard Cases from a vendor in Coimbatore. We did inspection and found that 15% parts were outside tolerance limits. Catching this early saved them from:<\/a>\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n Why Pre-Shipment Inspection Works:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The logic is very simple. It’s much easier and cheaper to fix problems at supplier’s factory than after the goods have traveled 1000s of kilometers to your warehouse.<\/a>\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n At Zenaca Consulting, we’ve helped dozen of customers across India save both time and money through our independent inspection services. Whether it’s PCBAs, wire harnesses, CNC components, or sheet metal parts – catching defects before shipment is always the smartest decision.<\/a>\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
