Energy & environmental Repeat production

They treated the shortage as their problem to solve, not ours to manage.

When lead times on a critical processor extended beyond 40 weeks with roughly a month’s notice, STIM’s procurement team identified two qualified alternates and provided a cost comparison before we had completed our internal escalation. We qualified one of the alternates, revised the BOM and maintained every scheduled shipment. That is a large part of why we have since expanded our business with them.

Medical & healthcare Regulated program

The auditor picked three serial numbers at random. STIM provided the complete device history for each one within the hour.

That record covered component lot traceability, inspection results and test data for every unit, and the auditor moved on without further questions. Traceability that is available on demand is exactly what we require from a manufacturing partner in a regulated market, and it gives our quality team real confidence heading into each surveillance audit.

Aerospace & defence Flight hardware

It demonstrated the standard of care they apply to our product when no one from our side is present.

Most suppliers provide a basic first article checklist. STIM provided a complete package, including X-ray images of the BGA devices, dimensional measurements and a note on one marginal solder joint that had already been raised with our engineering team. That report is what established our confidence in them.

Defence Vendor-managed inventory

Finished boards stay off our books until the day our line calls for them.

STIM holds our safety stock under a vendor-managed inventory agreement and keeps the components we own in a separate, controlled area with its own counts. Each month we receive a reconciliation of what was consumed, what is on hand and what is reserved against open orders. Replenishment follows our pull schedule, and in two years our line has not stopped waiting for a board.

Defence CKD and SKD kits

Our in-country partner opened the first CKD kits and started assembly without raising a single query.

The program required final assembly abroad, so some units shipped as complete knock-down kits and others as semi knock-down sub-assemblies. STIM built both from one controlled BOM, packed every kit by work order with serialised labels and a pick list, and traced each part to its lot. When the split between CKD and SKD changed mid-program, it took a revised shipping plan, not a new supplier.
