We are about to put the cap on another successful year here at Manufacturing Services Incorporated. We continue to grow as our valued customers continue to develop new and improved products to add to the market. As this occurs, in order to keep pace with customer growth, we continue to add employees and high tech equipment to produce these products.
We have implemented a restructuring of current staff as well as adding experienced personnel from outside our organization. All of this movement in personnel is designed for continual quality improvement in our daily work processes.
Along with the recent stellar performance in our most recent ISO 9001:2008 audit we have added new equipment including:
• Juki KE-730L placement machine ( our second such model)
• Heller Model 1812SS-II, 12 Zone reflow oven (Lead Free Approved)
Another unit we will soon be receiving is:
• EKRA X4 Screen Printer ( automated and self-aligning for quality placement of solder paste)
These acquisitions create two fully complete SMT lines. One of these lines which include the Juki 730 and the Juki 2060 are trolley feeder friendly. Trolley feeders allow SMT operators to load offline while a current job is running, thereby speeding up the quick turn process of SMT board placement.
Another highlight for our organization was a quality assurance/technical audit that was performed this past summer by Pacific Northwest National Library (PNNL). MSI is now listed on the PNNL Evaluated Suppliers Listing (ESL) and into the Battelle Integrated Supplier Information System (ISIS) as having an implemented quality assurance/technical program to ISO-9001L2008, Quality Management Systems-Requirements for the design and manufacturing of electronic assemblies and products.
