James was a mechanical design engineer in a semiconductor equipment company in Singapore. His main role was to design and fabricate custom parts for a wafer testing equipment that is going to his global clients. Many times, the parts were needed within short notice and he often faced difficulties in finding a factory that could support his lead time requirement and meet the quality expectations of the parts.
The equipment that James’ company sold to its clients had many optical functions, thus requiring the parts in the equipment to have stringent dimensional tolerance and surface finishing. With the current factories that he was working with, James wasted a lot of time in doing or coordinating reworks for the parts that did not meet his drawing requirement. This took precious time away from his main task to design and test the equipment parts.
