Ritchey Revised: 2/02/03 February 2002 OBJECTIVE The objective of the PCB supplier selection process is to choose PCB suppliers (fabricators) that are capable of reliably supplying prototype and production quantity PCBs of the types being used in a product at competitive prices. In addition, it is important to choose suppliers capable of providing vital front-end design engineering support in areas such as material selection, design for manufacturability, lamination and plating. A crucial part of this process is balancing the risks against the costs. Often, suppliers are chosen based on the price of the PCB on the purchase order rather than the cost of ownership of that same PCB.
