01
The brief
A domestic EMS building telecom hardware needed a memory supplier that could (1) hold a JEDEC-grade spec across consecutive build runs, (2) commit to a quarterly forecast without missing weekly drops, and (3) absorb a few percent burst when the OEM ramped a new SKU.
02
How ZION supports it
Production is scheduled against a rolling 13-week forecast, with each weekly drop confirmed two weeks in advance. SMT placement, programming, and 100% final-QA happen on the same Daman floor as the rest of the catalogue, so quality variation across batches is minimal. When the OEM ramps a new SKU, we run a qualification batch first, validate against the target platform's QVL, then scale.
03
Why it matters
For a telecom-grade OEM, a missed weekly drop is more expensive than the modules themselves. Domestic supply with a documented forecast cadence removes the imports / customs / lead-time variance that puts those drops at risk.
