Dewey makes an excellent point. But the true cost savings should have
been calculated by comparing prices when both sides of the Pacific were
allowed to build it most efficiently.
When North American costs, based on hard-and-strict execution of an
OEM's expectations, designs, quality rules, etc., are compared with
against Asian costs, in which an apple drawing becomes an orange
deliverable, it's not hard to see where the PO goes.
I've almost never seen the type of "accommodation" that's given Asian
sources considered seriously when the boards were produced domestically.
Simply put, it seems that the US board community just didn't make the
$$$ cost savings big enough to shift the paradigm.

Jeffrey made excellent suggestions. I would add one additional thing. In
the
beginning it will appear they are building the PWB your way, but the
true
cost savings will only be realized by allowing them to build the PWB
their
way.

Rejects, communications, design issues, acceptability criteria, time to
replace parts, etc. Make sure you visit the company and cultivate a
relationship with someone fitting your needs. If you use a broker you
will have issues and variations in board performance. Seek out (takes
sometime) and stick to one good supplier - get a good customs agent.

Subject: [TN] Cost of off shore (Bare board)
Hi all-
Purchasing has decided they would like to entertain off shore (Asia)
quotes for bare boards and compare them with our domestic prices. It is
obvious to me that the cheaper of the two is the direction they will
proceed.
Aside from raw cost of the board alone....what other variables need to
be considered (i.e. import cost, tax, etc...).
Any experiences or input you may have would be great.
Thanks in advance,
Cal
