WHY KEEP PRODUCTION IN THE USA?
You can sometimes save money by offshoring PCB production but consider costs — both direct and indirect — that may be minimizing or even eliminating those savings.

  • If you need the boards fast, expedited shipping can offset a lot of your potential cost savings.
  • Up-front payment terms impact cash flow and reduce leverage with the supplier.
  • When offshore PCBs fail to meet design specifications, the resources required to re-tool the boards or adapt the product to accommodate them masks the real cost of low yield.
  • Your intellectual property (IP) won’t protect itself when it travels abroad, and risk can be difficult to assess from long distance.
  • Time and effort spent coordinating and policing an overseas manufacturer on the other side of the international dateline can disrupt workflows and schedules.
  • Disruptions to routine can lead to miscommunications, misunderstandings, and expensive mistakes.

Problems with quality assurance (QA) occur frequently and are usually preceded by an absence of transparency. Collaboration with offshore manufacturers is inherently limited, and the loosely coupled relationships foster a “take what you get” paradigm. This leaves the product manager to hope PCBs are properly manufactured to design while offshore.
