Design For Excellence (DFX)

Product Optimization

Through Early Stage Customer Engagement

VEXOS' early involvement in the design cycle can provide customers with a product that is more cost effective and has increased manufacturability, quality and reliability through its entire lifecycle. During our involvement in design reviews, we’ll focus on key areas throughout the cycle and provide critical feedback to address potential issues and ensure a successful new product introduction. Design reviews can also be categorized by material (Design for Supply Chain), test (Design for Testability), PCB fabrication (Design for Fabrication), assembly (Design for Assembly) and manufacturing (Design for Manufacturing).

Value Engineering Services

Providing Technology, Flexibility, Velocity, and Experience for Your New Product Introduction

VEXOS' value engineering services enable customers to optimize product manufacturability and quality performance. We focus on every aspect of design and manufacturing processes, assessing all impacts on cost, function, schedule and overall requirements. We work with our customers to find appropriate opportunities for cost reduction. We examine every element that contributes to the value and performance of a product.

Benefits Of Performing DFX

  • Reduced lead time and material costs (DFSC)
  • Improved PCB yield and cost (DFF)
  • Improved assembly yield and reduced labor content (DFA)
  • Improved coverage and final yield, reduced RMA and field failures (DFT)
  • Improved production stability and predictability (DFM)
  • Continuous improvement (post-DFM, ROI)
