ATEK Medical Manufacturing and Solectron Sign Strategic Alliance for Medical Device Manufacturing Services Solectron Announces ISO 13485 Medical Certification of FinePitch Facility Solectron's Sherbrooke Facility Receives ISO 13485 Medical Certification

Overview:
Solectron Corp. provides global medical device contract manufacturing and integrated supply chain solutions. The company helps OEMs improve competitiveness by increasing flexibility, reducing time to market, maintaining high quality, and optimizing total landed costs. Services include collaborative product design, new product introduction, materials management, RoHS compliance, product manufacturing, product warranty, and end-of-life support.

As competitive pressures rise, medical device companies are outsourcing much of their supply chain to reduce costs and improve performance. Several trends are driving this shift by medical OEMs:

1. Significant cost pressures from group purchasing organizations (GPO's) and      government payees typified by the move to a pay-per-use model and the      seeding of instruments to sell consumables/disposables.
2. The convergence of pharmacologicals, disposables and electronics ("the      box") into a single end-to-end solution, requires medical device companies to      rationalize core IP (usually the pharmacological and or the disposable) and      non-core, (usually the electronics/box).
3. The need to increase the number and rate at which new products are added      to the product portfolio, necessitating significant increases in R&D spending.

Solectron offers a true, strategic partnership to help medical device companies face these challenges and optimize their financial performance.

 

Solectron Medical Manufacturing Expertise

Our capabilities include:

  • Global collaborative      design centers that      take your raw designs,      turn them into      prototypes and manage      through to new      product introduction      (NPI).
  • Complete medical      device build capabilities      - not only "the box",      but integration of      disposables and the drug (combination devices).
  • Product life cycle stewardship design capabilities including refresh of older      product designs and cost reduction using our extensive Design-for-     Manufacturing services.
  • More than 50 facilities around the world to deliver superior quality low-volume,      high-mix production in small facilities as well as high-volume, low-mix      production for the home medical market.

    A Proven Commitment to Quality
    From its inception, a strong focus on quality has pervaded every aspect of our business. Solectron was the first company to win the prestigious Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award for manufacturing, twice. Solectron utilizes Lean manufacturing principles, continuous improvement and Six Sigma quality analysis that helps cut waste, reduce variability and speed your time-to-market. Building on this strong foundation of quality, all of our medical design and production facilities (including those in cost-competitive geographies) are certified to ISO 13485:2003, ensuring the quality and reliability you require.

    Solectron Supply Base Expertise
    As medical device makers face increased market pressures, they recognize the competitive advantage gained by outsourcing significant portions of their supply chain. With over 60% of the cost of a medical device captured in materials, there are trends in the global marketplace that medical device manufacturers need to use to their advantage such as:

  • Sourcing an entire product from a single manufacturer to reduce supply chain      overhead eliminates muda (waste) in the form of cross-supplier safety      stocks, increases supply chain velocity and decreases risk.
  • Localized sourcing to achieve lowest total landed cost, increased supply      availability and consistently higher quality.
  • Global sourcing using a worldwide pool of resources to meet your production,      field repair unit and service center refurbishment requirements.

    Solectron's global medical sourcing capabilities are uniquely structured to source the complex BOMs of medical devices including fluidics, optics, electro-mechanical subassemblies, electronics, and enclosures as well as disposables required for finished product delivery. Our supply base and program management teams offer expertise in the medical and life science equipment industries to help you manage the entire supply chain from program management to manufacturing, assembly and distribution.
