Feature addition

Original Device Manufacturer:
Customer sells product under their label & Vignani manages product design and delivery
- product, components, low volume PCBs:
• Positions the customer to benefit from access to low cost manufacturing supply base in a low risk approach (through testing the low cost manufacturer’s capability through prototyping)
Areas of engagement
• Leverage offshore capability for engineering activities that are not adequately staffed (parts cost reduction, value engineering, sustaining engineering)
• Short-term projects that can help reduce engineering backlog, especially areas that impact customer satisfaction and productivity improvements
• Outsourcing activities that are not core to the product but critical to the functioning (eg., system software, PCBs, components)

Differentiation:
Vignani provides product engineering services with a difference by bringing:
• Industry knowledge through domain experts – management has more than 70 years experience in the capital equipment industry.
• Focused services portfolio – engineering.
• Competency based service delivery model.
• Lower Risk – management team with global experience and experience in setting up the largest offshore delivery center in the semiconductor equipment industry for the industry leader.
