What is Partial Turnkey Assembly?

Partial Turnkey Assembly is a collaborative manufacturing model designed for efficiency. You, the customer, procure and supply the critical, proprietary, or long-lead-time components (e.g., custom ASICs, programmed microcontrollers, specialized sensors). SENTAK then takes responsibility for sourcing all remaining standard components (passives, connectors, ICs) and executing the complete PCB assembly, testing, and logistics.

 

This model splits the supply chain strategically: you control the intellectual property and core technology, while we leverage our scale and expertise to manage the complex, high-volume commodity supply and manufacturing execution.

The Strategic Advantage:Why Choose Partial Turnkey?

Partial Turnkey is the optimal choice when you need more control than Full Turnkey but less overhead than full Consignment.

 

Ideal For:

Protecting IP: You supply programmed controllers or proprietary modules.

Managing Strategic Inventory: You have existing stock of key components or preferred supplier agreements.

Navigating Allocation: You secure supply for critical long-lead items directly.

Cost Optimization: You aim to reduce total project cost by managing high-value items while we optimize the cost of common parts.

Our Partial Turnkey Process:Seamless Integration

Our process is designed for clear handoffs and flawless integration of your supplied parts.

 

Phase 1:Collaborative Project Launch

BOM Segmentation: We jointly review your Bill of Materials to clearly define"Customer-Supplied Parts"and"SENTAK-Sourced Parts."

Design&Procurement Review: We provide DFM analysis and begin sourcing common components immediately.

 

Phase 2:Material Logistics&Management

Clear Kitting Instructions: We provide precise guidelines for labeling,packaging,and shipping your parts to our facility.

Advanced Receiving&Inspection: Your parts undergo our Incoming Material Inspection(IMI)process.We verify quantity,condition,and match to agreed specifications.

Integrated Inventory Management: Your parts are securely logged into our MRP system and kitted with our components for production.

 

Phase 3:Manufacturing&Delivery

Unified Assembly: The complete kit is assembled on our production lines with full traceability.

Testing&Quality Assurance: We execute the agreed test plan(AOI,X-Ray,FCT).

Final Reconciliation: We provide a detailed report on the usage of your supplied components and return any unused items.

Your Success Checklist:Preparing for Partial Turnkey

To ensure a smooth and fast build,ideal Customer-Supplied Parts are:

High-Value or Proprietary: Custom ICs,programmed devices,specialized sensors.

Logistically Simple: Provided in reel,tray,or tube packaging compatible with automated assembly.

Well-Documented: Accompanied by datasheets and clear handling instructions.

Labeled Clearly: Each package marked with Manufacturer Part Number(MPN)and Reference Designator.

 

What We Provide for a Successful Partnership:

Dedicated Point of Contact: A Project Manager coordinates the entire hybrid workflow.

Secure,Bonded Storage: For your inventory before and after production.

Full Material Traceability: From your receiving report to final assembly lot.

Your Design Deserves Our Discipline.

Partner with a manufacturer where quality is a measurable, managed outcome.
