01
DFM — Design for Manufacturability
Component spacing, orientation, thermal layout, and process compatibility — reviewed before a single board is built.
Agile Design Services — ADS
The best manufacturing fix happens before manufacturing starts.
ADS is AMS’s in-house design and validation arm — DFM, DFA, DFT, BOM risk, and rapid validation under one roof.
More about our Design ServicesSix ways to remove risk early
Design validation that protects your program.
02
DFA — Design for Assembly
Panel design, assembly sequencing, stencil aperture design, and solder process alignment.
03
DFT — Design for Testability
Test architecture defined at design stage. In-house test jig development in hardware and software.
04
BOM Risk & Alternate Strategy
Single-source risk identification, approved alternates, and global component sourcing.
05
3D Prototyping & Validation
Physical validation before full tooling commitment. Fewer revision cycles and faster NPI.
06
Yield Improvement Planning
Systematic defect prevention — not reactive correction. First-pass yield rises consistently.
How it works
ADS engages at concept. Not at rework.

Production
Most EMS companies enter at Pilot Batch. ADS enters at Concept. The difference is measured in ECOs avoided, rework eliminated, and weeks recovered.
