Vicor's Comment on Supply Chain
Our BBU and VI Chip manufacturing facilities are co-located in Andover, Massachusetts,
where we are headquartered. Picor, given its fabless model, outsources manufacturing,
packaging, and testing of its products under contract to partners in the United
States and Asia.
Our primary manufacturing processes consist of assembly of electronic components
onto printed circuit boards; automatic testing of components; wave, reflow and
infrared soldering of assembled components; encapsulation or over-molding of
converter subassemblies and assemblies; final environmental stress screening
of certain products; and product inspection and testing using automated equipment.
These processes are largely automated, but their labor components require relatively
high levels of skill and training.
We pursue a manufacturing strategy based upon the continuous improvement of
product quality, volume throughput, and reduced manufacturing costs. Product
quality and reliability are critical to our success and, as such, we emphasize
quality and reliability in our design and manufacturing activities. We follow
industry best practices in manufacturing and are compliant with ISO 9001 certification
standards (as set forth by the International Organization for Standardization).
Our quality assurance practices include rigorous testing and, as necessary,
burn-in and temperature cycling (i.e., extended operation of a product to confirm
performance) of our products using automated equipment.
We continue to make investments in automated manufacturing equipment, particularly
for our ChiP modules and VIA packaging platforms. Based on current estimates
of ChiP and VIA manufacturing volumes and our capacity requirements, we do not
expect to incur capital expenditures during 2016 materially higher than we incurred
during recent years.
Components and materials used in our products are purchased from a variety of
domestic and international vendors. Most of the components are available from
multiple sources, whether directly from suppliers or indirectly through distributors.
In instances of single source items, we maintain levels of inventories we consider
to be appropriate to enable meeting the delivery requirements of customers.
Incoming components, assemblies, and other parts are subjected to several levels
of inspection procedures, and we maintain robust data on our inventories in
order to support our quality assurance procedures. Picor, given its fabless
model, relies on a limited number of wafer foundries and providers of packaging
and test services. Our proprietary switching controllers were designed by and
are sourced through Picor, which relies on these wafer foundries and service
providers for supply continuity and sufficiency of these critical semiconductor
devices.
See Note 17 — Segment Information to the Consolidated Financial Statements
for certain financial information associated with the operations and manufacturing
activities of our business segments.
