You can get wafers fabricated, devices assembled and tested, warehoused and shipped without an operations staff. Variable cost can replace your fixed cost. Your cash can be conserved by limiting payroll to design and marketing. Through billing consolidation your working capital can be stretched.

Addison will do operations management including foundry, assembly and product engineering, logistics and quality. Our entry point can be at any chosen manufacturing stage you do not judge core.

If we do your product engineering we will bring together package identification, product design, release to production, yield improvement, test time reduction and characterization functions. We will do failure analysis, oversee test program generation and determine tester platform.

If we do your foundry management we will supervise fab loading and lot tracking. We will aim to identify mismatches between design and foundry capabilities. We will offer guidance to the designer how to make yield improvement allowances for limitations in process and to recognize what the foundry tool productivity enhancements imply for design. To optimize performance, reliability and operating margin, we can direct your devices to the "best fit" fab technology.

If we manage your assembly and test we will work to reduce backgrinding, dicing, packaging materials and labor costs. We will work to get your test time down or to test two devices in parallel and to accomplish the test on the lowest cost tester. We will supervise loading and lot tracking, yield reporting and nonconforming material control.

If we do your logistics we will manage traffic between subcontractors, drop shipments to end customers, inventory administration and warehousing.

Addison is ISO certified. We will do quality management including identification and documentation of process and SPC points, acceptance testing and audit of subcontractors. You will be able to tell your customers that your products are manufactured under an ISO 9001 : 2000 compliant quality management system.
