BASIC Way Do you have to react quickly and flexibly when planning your business? If sudden fluctuations are part of your everyday life then you need a partner that can support you at all levels of complexity, and effectively help you achieve your sales targets. Seidel has grown up with the BASIC WAY, and on-going improvement of this process and logistic model also makes it the most popular for our customers, particularly for those who produce a wide range of technically advanced products in low volumes that are called up to meet different configuration needs. Our experience and depth of skills with the BASIC WAY allows us to juggle with variable annual quantities and make use of an extremely short lead times or stock models. Our uncompromising approach to quality always takes precedent. With approvals to current versions of ISO 9001, ISO 13485, ISO 14001 and IPC-A-610 as well as TS 16949 certification, planned for the near future, we comply with all the requirements of this approach. All in all, you get a great deal of value for your money! The following table shows how your value proposition meets the quality criteria specified in each case.

ECONOMIC Way If your products sell like hot cakes, then you need high volumes at a reasonable price? Ideally you would prefer your products to be produced continuously with the focus on best value (price) considering the triangle quality-time-costs (QTC). Our ECONOMIC WAY is designed specifically at customers who seek a supply partnership based principally on the following criteria: electronic and mechatronic modules and Box Build, an endto-end supply agreement or contract, a rolling forecast and a steady workload. As a flexible supply partner, within our ECONOMIC WAY, we also take variations and changes in our stride and keep all technical options open even with THT, SMT and inspection. Through our holistic approach to supply chain optimisation, we are able to determine the most favourable solution for your purchasing and warehousing needs. Our ISO 9001 quality approval processes and highly trained bilingual team also ensure that we can meet your requirements on price sensitivity with complete satisfaction.

EXPRESS Way Sometimes you have to jump on the train when it is already moving! Project contracts can often develop very quickly. Time to market is the critical metric, even when orders are placed too late and the design is finalised at the eleventh hour. The delivery of first samples and initial start of production must still be on time. Fast, Faster, Fastest, is becoming the mantra in many industries. We have prepared the EXPRESS WAY specifically for this type of requirement: Our EXPRESS WAY team will clarify material requirements and lead times within 48 hours and provide you with a delivery quotation. After receiving raw materials, production is commenced within 24 hours, and finished product dispatched within 5 days after start of production, using the shortest route to you or directly to your customer. Zero-risk-ordering: any surcharge for Express Way services only comes into effect if quoted terms&conditions are met.

GREEN Way Have you ever considered how your company might implement the Kyoto targets? Calculation of the carbon foot print is already a standard feature for many companies, and increasingly commercial customers are demanding recyclable and environmentally sustainable sources and supply routes for products. The Seidel GREEN WAY has been conceived for such requirements. All production tasks are carried out 100% in-house and are evaluated and improved to minimise their CO 2 burden. The steps taken include the avoidance of unnecessary or long transport distances, the use of carbon-neutral energy sources, and the purchase of special equipment that is particularly energy efficient. Have a look for yourself at our clear record on the environment and our carbon footprint! One of our production sites will shortly become completely CO 2 -neutral and work to the ISO 14001 certification standard, thus going far beyond the Kyoto targets.
