The emergency stop policy: partially cancelling an order

🔴 You order 5 ProtoPCBA's. After sample 1 or 2, you already know enough. What do you do with the rest?

Last week it came up twice again: the emergency stop policy at DeltaProto B.V.. You make ProtoPCBA's to learn fast. Not to run volumes.

Thanks to our single-piece-flow assembly process, you sometimes learn everything you need from the 1st or 2nd sample.

And then?

Then it's a waste to have the rest assembled anyway. That's why you can partially cancel your order with every project.

Any work not carried out is simply returned as credit. * No waste * No unnecessary assembly costs * Faster on to your next iteration

Prototyping is about learning. Not about volume.
