The next two episodes will be all about contract manufacturing, an area that can make or break the reliability and success of a product.
My guest on this episode is Raymond Novara, founder and owner of East End Assemblies, a U.S.-based contract manufacturer recognized for its focus on quality, customer service, and compliance with AS9100 and IPC standards.
During our conversation, I’ll be asking Raymond some key questions that every OEM should be considering:

• What are the best practices for selecting a contract manufacturer?
• What common mistakes do companies make when working with a CM—especially in communication and hand-offs?
• How can design-for-manufacturability feedback prevent problems down the road?
• What should customers know about transitioning from prototypes to volume production?
• And how can contract manufacturers help ensure long-term product reliability, not just passing initial tests?

If you’re an OEM evaluating partners, an engineer preparing to hand off a design, or someone interested in how contract manufacturers contribute to product reliability, this episode is packed with insights.
