Contract Manufacturing Solutions

Box Build/Integration Services

Cafeteria

Companywide gatherings and information sharing are integral parts of the Cirtronics culture. Out cafeteria is designed to accommodate our whole-company events, while also providing an intimate and comfortable atmosphere for employees to relax and mingle with one another.

The space also serves as a function room when entertaining our guests, including politicians, customers, suppliers, and local community organizations with interest in New England business or the electronic manufacturing industry.

Capacity Planning

When Cirtronics adopted lean manufacturing principles, we moved away from traditional production schedules and adopted a visual card system. This is unique from most other contract manufacturers because work is released based on our customers' needs.

Cirtronics utilizes capacity planning tools for order analysis and delivery commitments in conjunction with:

• Annual business plan analysis, looking at projected sales forecasts and required resources.
• Monthly/quarterly sales projections to analyze staffing and resources to meet booked and projected short-term requirements.
• Morning meetings with manufacturing staff and afternoon production meetings with representatives from program management, HR and manufacturing to adjust resources within the teams to meet daily production requirements and address last minute customer expedites.
• Constant communications with the manufacturing teams regarding customer design changes, volume shifts, and priorities.

Kanban Bins & Finished Goods

Cirtronics offers flexible agreements to meet our customers' fluctuating demands.

We offer a Kanban supply agreement for consistent, flowing programs that have limited ECO activity and can be supported by a long term forecast or blanket purchase orders. By contract, we can hold one to two bins of finished goods for customers to accommodate spikes in demand.

Cirtronics also offers a finished goods supply agreement when a set number of finished goods are needed to be held for a finite period of time to meet a customer requirement.

RoHS PCB Assembly/Inspection

Cirtronics started prepping for lead free contract manufacturing in 2002. Our engineering staff spent several years investigating the technical aspects and chemistries involved RoHS implementation. We educated ourselves through technical seminars, relationships with industry partners and internal process experimentation.

In the Fall of 2005, we invested over $1M in capital expenditures dedicated to RoHS manufacturing. In January of 2006, the equipment, training, and processes were in place to offer RoHS compliant services to our customers. Cirtronics currently offers production and prototype volume RoHS manufacturing services.

• Segregated RoHS processes
• Materials management - identification and segregation of compliant parts
• Solid engineering expertise supporting process and conversion issues
