Elementary, Mr. Watson: Ensuring Design Integrity

03/28/2024 | John Watson -- Column: Elementary, Mr. Watson
Back in February, many of us watched the "Big Game." It reminded me of the saying, “It's not how you start that is important, but rather how you finish." It is perfectly okay when you are talking about sports, you get off to a bad first half and need to recover in the second half. However, when it comes to PCB design, this is not a good practice. If things start badly, they usually don't recover. They continue down that same path, costing more money and losing design time.  

Punching Out: Acquiring a PCB/EMS Shop: Brownfield vs. Greenfield

03/27/2024 | Tom Kastner -- Column: Punching Out!

Perhaps they can find the right shop, or at least one that fits five out of 10 criteria, but they encounter obstacles, such as owners who do not want to sell, price expectations that are too high, or negotiations that are too difficult. Despite the interest in building new facilities, since 2000, few companies have gone the greenfield route. Here is a look at the pros and cons of buying vs. building.
