Product Optimization

Through Early Stage Customer Engagement

At TORTAI, our advanced engineering services focus on early involvement in the design cycle to provide customers with cost-effective, high-quality products that ensure increased manufacturability, quality, and reliability throughout their lifecycle. Our design reviews key target areas, offering feedback to prevent potential issues and ensure a successful new product introduction. Reviews include material (Design for Supply Chain), testing (Design for Testability), PCB fabrication (Design for Fabrication), assembly (Design for Assembly), and manufacturing (Design for Manufacturing).

Value Engineering Services

Providing Technology, Flexibility, Velocity, and Experience for Your New Product Introduction

TORTAI’ value engineering services optimize product manufacturability and quality. We assess each aspect of design and manufacturing, ensuring all cost, function, schedule, and overall requirements are met. Our team identifies cost reduction opportunities, examining every element contributing to product performance and value.

Benefits Of Performing DFX

• Reduced lead time and material costs (DFSC)
• Improved PCB yield and cost (DFF)
• Improved assembly yield and reduced labor content (DFA)
• Improved coverage and final yield, reduced RMA and field failures (DFT)
• Improved production stability and predictability (DFM)

Design for Fabrication (DFF):

• Focuses on PCB fabrication design and related cost drivers

Design for Assembly (DFA):

• Focuses on PCB fabrication design and related cost drivers

Other engineering services as appropriate:

• ECO upgrade, reliability testing, FAI, failure analysis, DOE

Design for Supply Chain (DFSC):

• Focuses on material sourcing, AML, compliancy, supply and lifecycle
• Component Engineering and AVL optimization
• BOM Analysis and component life cycle management

Design for Manufacturing (DFM):

• Focuses on manufacturing process and test and related cost drivers
• Pre- and Post-DFM Reviews, Post-Build Reports

Design for Test (DFT) and ROI:

• Focuses on test access, coverage, and related test plan and development.​

ICT Development and Finite Element Analysis (FEA):

• Services test plan and development for PCBA testing

Functional Test Development and Design

Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Test (DFT) target the labor portion of the total cost

Design for Supply Chain (DFSC) focuses on the materials portion of the manufacturing cost

How Our Customers Benefit From Value Engineering

Our full suite of value analysis and engineering services helps customers optimize design and reduce costs. Collaborating closely, TORTAI identifies, prioritizes, and implements cost reduction and product quality enhancements at every stage. Through design reviews, we uncover opportunities for efficiency, whether related to new components, layouts, or functional advancements.

DFM/DFA Design Problems Case Showcase

Component and Package Size Mismatch	Intercomponent Interference	Hole Design is on The Small Side	LED Non-Polarity Display
Inconsistency Between Two Drawing Requirements in Gerber	Gerber Hole and Line Spacing is too Small, Beyond The Processing Capacity	The Board Needs to Be Designed With Text on The Pads, in Order to Avoid The Word Printed on The Pads, Remove The Word	BGA Through-Hole Design Has an Open Window, There is a Risk of Short-Circuiting Even Tin, it is Recommended to Open The Window Plug Hole.

By Choosing Our Service, You Will Get an Efficient And Accurate DFM/DFA Inspection Report, Which Will Provide a Solid Guarantee For The Success of Your Products to The Market.
