Frost & Sullivan – Device Complexity and Tight Margins Mean Greater Business Risks
White Papers
Frost & Sullivan closely tracks the trends and best practices of the electronic test market, which constantly evolves in tandem with transformations in electronic product technology. The research conducted by Frost & Sullivan in partnership with Dimensional Research revealed that while calibration is often overlooked, 92% of respondents report that product recall, product rejected by the buyer (partner), increased product returns, and lost product (yield) were the result of test equipment being out of calibration.1 In this paper, we explore sources of error that can be mitigated by test strategy, and answer key questions in each chapter, including: What are the transformations in electronic products across industries that drive the need for a robust test strategy? How does the test strategy impact a company’s profits? How do tighter test margins and complexities impact business? Why is calibration an integral part of the test strategy?
