We are going to take something as insanely complex

as manufacturing consumer electronics and make it feel

easy.

WHY IS MANUFACTURING

HARD?

Hint

GOING FROM THE PROTOTYPE TO PRODUCTION IS A LONG JOURNEY WITH MANY “UNKNOWN UNKNOWNS”

• Cogs, Tooling And Manufacturing Costs • Lead Times • Permanence Of Quality • Iteration Cycles • DFMA • Factory Selection And Management • Team Scalability • Schedule & Project Management • Specialized Skills (ME / EE / SW/ Q / SC / Logs) • Retail Channel

MANUFACTURING TRIANGLE

COST OF GOODS SOLD (COGS)

• Direct costs for goods produced. • Does NOT include Tooling. • Actual price depends on where a company takes

ownership: - Ex-Factory (XF) - FOB (add overland transport to XF) - Landed (add shipping to FOB) - Inventory (add warehousing)

• Price will vary by date depending on running changes, transportation costs, currency exchange, commodity costs, etc.

COGS

YOUR DESIGN

• Material And Component Selection • Fabrication Method • Manufacturing Efficiency (First Time

Yield, Machine Tonnage, Assembly Labor, Number Of Operations, Etc.)

• Quality Requirements (Driven By Requirements / Voice Of Customer)

• Packout (Replaceable Vs. Rechargeable Batteries; Packaging; Spares, Etc.)

MANUFACTURING PARTNER

• BOM Transparency • Profit Margin • Labor Rate • Currency • Geographic Location (Shipping,

Tariffs, Etc.) • Capability (In-House Vs.

Outsourced) • Supply Chain (Purchasing Power,

Volume (Piggy Back), Consigned Vs Purchased, Etc).

COGS DRIVERS

CONTROLLING COSTS

1. Deconstruct the BOM. 2. Separate special components. 3. Transparency 4. Compare to standards. 5. Negotiate Inclusions

ADDITIONAL COGS STRATEGIES

Cost

• Bill of Material Transparency: Require factories to provide an item by item costed BOM. No mysteries or hidden formulas.

• Calculate Labor Rates. Pop Quiz – How??? • Build a “Standard Cost” database. Price out cost reductions. • If time permits, develop relationships with multiple vendors

to avoid single source suppliers. Leverage is a beautiful word.

• When manufacturing in volume for a CE product, it is critical to understand and control COGS. Focus here! Because of the volume, every penny counts ($10k @ 1M units)

ANATOMY OF A BOM

• Plastic • Purchased Parts • Electrical Components • Consigned Components • Deco • Packaging • Assembly Labor • CM Profit, Overhead And Scrap • Overland Transportation

• Does it matter that it is a gear???

• Components (3) 1. Material Cost

= Part Weight * Resin Cost

2. Machine Overhead: = Hourly Cost * Cycle Time (sec) / (3,600 sec / hr)

3. Factory Mark-up, Scrap and Overhead (%)

• Total Part Cost: = (Material Cost + Overhead Cost) * (1+Factory M/U)

How To Calculate Plastic Costs

HK Resin Prices (USD/Ton)

Item Cost (USD)

280 Ton / hr $15.48

EXAMPLE PRC MOLDING RATES

How to Calculate EE Costs

• Cost = Component * Usage

• Separate High Cost Components Over A Certain Threshold. Apply A Lower Mark-Up.

• Apply Factory M/U

Typical PRC CM Margins (Profit, Scrap, Overhead)

PCBA 6–8%

Toys 12%

Consumer 15%

Medical >40%

• Deco (Tampo, Paint, etc.)

• Labor (PRC $2 – 6 / hr)

• Packaging (Gift + Master)

Other BOM Costs

Add It Up

• Plastic • Purchased Parts • Electrical Components • Consigned Components • Deco • Packaging • Assembly Labor • CM Profit, Overhead and Scrap • Overland Transportation

SCHEDULE

SCHEDULE

• Many consumer products are driven by the Christmas (which has a fixed date). Plan contingency in your schedule. Things never go

according to plan. Have an onsite presence. Track schedule carefully and take corrective actions

early. Avoid: “There is never time to do it right the first

time, but there is always time to do it again. ”

QUALITY

• Definitions: • Quality = Customer Satisfaction = Performance – Expectations • “Fitness for Use” Incoming Quality Control: Use good ingredients. Build and test along the way. Use sub-components. Statistical Process Control (SPC) / Yield. Find out now, not later. Sample Testing: Temp/Humidity; Transportation; Drop; T/T; Small Parts;

Heavy Metals; Compliance; Functional; Life. How do tests match reality? ISTA-3A.

Final Inspection / Acceptable Quality Levels (AQL) Walk the line. Get your hands dirty. It is much easier (and less expensive) to make changes before Production Start. What happens if something fails? Will make or break a product … and a Company! Quality is rarely considered in the engineering phase by startups due to

schedule, cost and technical pressures. Watch out for the Unknown Unknowns. Strong indicator of long term success, etc. Can you answer the question “How do you know the product is good”?
