Scheduled Production / Flexible Manufacturing Process
To produce over 2,000 lines of products, PhotoFast operates an efficient manufacturing system based on scheduled production. By minimizing downtime when changing SMT lines from product to product, our manufacturing centers ensure sufficient operating inventory is available for our customers around the world, even for specialist applications. Also, our processes are highly flexible, allowing our production plans to be changed on very short notice. This means that our offices can be kept fully stocked, even when a customer makes an unexpected order.
Total Quality Control
PhotoFast has implemented the concept of Total Quality Control throughout every level of the company from R&D and Production to Administration and MIS. “Quality” is the guiding principle for PhotoFast products, staff development, and business and management systems. Internal regulations and procedures have been established to provide tight control over every aspect of PhotoFast’s operations. These rules and procedures are periodically evaluated for reformation or revision. The flexibility of the company’s business practices means there is always room for improvement and adoption of new methods.
