Manufacturing
Operations
SynQor operates a multiple cell production flow in our
state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities in Boxborough, MA, using
the latest in automated surface mount technology. The in-line, flow
manufacturing process allows for virtually hands free construction
and minimal WIP processing, resulting in very high throughput and product
mix that supports a pull production strategy. SynQor's use of a single
PCB construction, planar magnetics and a baseplate-free design, allows
for simple automated manufacturing and inspection, resulting in higher
yields. Since SynQor units have 90% common materials, there is minimal
breakdown and setup between production runs, leading to shorter cycle
times, higher flexibility and simpler part sourcing. Consequently,
SynQor has reduced the lead-time on the majority of our products
to only four weeks. Our manufacturing expertise also remains in house
so that we have complete control of the quality and traceability of
our product.
ISO 9001:2000
In October 2003, SynQor earned a certificate of registration for meeting all requirements of ISO
9001:2000, the International standard for quality systems. This Registration, awarded by TUV Management Service, applies
to SynQor's design and manufacture of high-efficiency DC/DC converters. Prior to 2003, SynQor was certified to the ISO
9001:1994 standards.
ISO-9001 is an internationally-recognized quality standard that covers a company's design, development, production,
installation and servicing. ISO-9001 is the most comprehensive standard in the ISO-9000 series and is acknowledged
worldwide as a measure of a supplier's quality processes.
ISO certification was an important step for SynQor, since we have always
been committed to quality. SynQor's process-centered organization structure
provided a solid groundwork for a smooth transition to the ISO quality
standards. As part of the registration process, TUV performed an on-site
assessment, examination of documented procedures and a survey of the
company's overall operations. To determine continued compliance with
ISO-9001:2000, TUV periodically conducts routine surveillance audits
of SynQor's operations.
