Packing list
Included per shipment with lot and serial mapping where available
Lead-time windows and Incoterm ownership are fixed before dispatch.
PCB starts from 5 working days, PCBA from 10. Shipment terms and lot documents are locked in the same release flow before goods leave the factory.
- 5 d
- PCB prototype
- 10 d
- PCBA prototype
- 4–8 wk
- series PCBA
- DDP / EXW
- Incoterms supported
Date commitment starts after scope lock.
Date commitment starts after revision lock, BOM risk review, and test scope sign-off. The window includes manufacturing and shipment preparation. Destination import customs is outside that window and is planned as a separate lane step.
Lead-time windows by build type
| PCB prototypes | from 5 working days |
|---|---|
| PCBA prototypes (5–50 units) | from 10 working days |
| Pilot PCBA (100–1,000 units) | 3 to 5 weeks after material readiness |
| Series PCBA | 4 to 8 weeks |
| Mass production | scheduled per rolling quarterly forecast |
| Cable harness pilot | from 2 weeks after formboard sign-off |
| FCT fixture build | 1 to 3 weeks based on fixture complexity |
BOM exposure and fixture readiness move shipment date.
Most shifts come from supply exposure, fixture delay, or revision churn after material cut-off. SMT line occupancy is usually not the bottleneck when release discipline is maintained. For active programs, shortage escalation starts before cut-off and is tracked in the same thread as production release.
Critical path from quote lock to dispatch.
Logistics date is controlled by four locked checkpoints: scope freeze, material readiness, build release, and dispatch pack lock. Missing one checkpoint shifts the shipment window even when line capacity is available.
| Checkpoint 1 | Revision lock + BOM risk class + test scope fixed in quote |
|---|---|
| Checkpoint 2 | Material readiness on critical lines before build slot confirmation |
| Checkpoint 3 | Build release and fixture readiness aligned to production slot |
| Checkpoint 4 | Dispatch pack lock: labels, docs, lane data complete |
Every lot ships with a fixed document pack.
CoC
Certificate of Conformance per lot
Test evidence
Program-defined package, for example FCT logs and AOI or X-Ray samples
Material declarations
RoHS and REACH declarations provided when required by customer scope
Three schedule breakpoints in logistics.
- 1. Engineering revision updates after material release move both manufacturing and shipment windows.
- 2. Missing destination import data can hold finished lots even after production release.
- 3. Late fixture approval compresses validation and dispatch preparation into the same slot.
Exception escalation before material cut-off.
Exception flow starts before cut-off, not after the line stops. Shortage exposure, late revision requests, and fixture delays are escalated through one route with owner, decision timebox, and release impact record.
Trigger class
Shortage risk, revision request, fixture delay
Owner
Program manager with engineering and procurement lead
Decision window
Timeboxed before material cut-off
Output
Updated release date, risk note, and customer-facing delta
RMA route and analysis timeline.
- 01
Register the return lot with RMA number, failure class, and destination point.
- 02
Route shipment to the originating site or designated regional hub.
- 03
Run incoming triage and assign disposition path.
- 04
Issue analysis output in the reporting window agreed for the program.
Incoterm ownership is fixed before dispatch.
Supported Incoterms include EXW, FCA, FOB, CIF, and DDP. Carrier can be customer-nominated or factory-managed by lane. Handoff package is locked before dispatch so shipping, quality, and finance records stay aligned to the same lot release.
