World-Class Manufacturing and Quality
State-of-the-art manufacturing facilities reflect SEL’s strong commitment to offering our customers unmatched value in products and services by leading in price, quality, features, innovation, delivery, and service. A focus on lean manufacturing keeps costs low, translating into better value for our customers.
SEL complies with the highest quality standards—such as IPC-A-610 Class 3 and ISO 9001:2008—and constantly strives to exceed those requirements. In addition to “Design for Manufacturability” and “Design for Testability” guidelines that contain best practices based on manufacturing production yields and processes, SEL uses a formal procedure to plan, monitor, and complete new product introductions.
SEL continually works to exceed customer expectations and quality standards in specific ways:
- Monitoring and controlling processes to exceed the ISO 9001:2000 Quality Management Systems Standard.
- Developing robust, repeatable, and scalable manufacturing processes to address design and process errors.
- Ensuring that our test and calibration laboratories use the latest equipment and follow National Institute of Standards and Technology traceable standards for accuracy and maintenance.
- Partnering with our suppliers for the highest possible quality and value.
As part of our spirit of continuous improvement, SEL constantly strives to find new ways to make our products more reliable and to reduce waste. To ensure superior, reliable functionality, we test our products thoroughly and verify that they will perform for decades under demanding conditions. Doing so eliminates waste due to early product replacement. SEL also offers recycling options for outdated technology. SEL’s ten-year warranty and Product Hospital enable our customers to buy a long-lasting product with the support and service necessary to use it for many years to come.
