Quality Statement
PerkinElmer Optoelectronics’ business is the design, development, and production of optoelectronic components
and assemblies. Our development and manufacturing activities focus on achieving and maintaining consistent
product quality and high levels of reliability. PerkinElmer produces devices and assemblies for the commercial,
industrial, automotive, and medical markets.
PerkinElmer’s commitment to quality emphasizes designed-in quality, problem prevention, and closed loop cor-
rective action. This concept of quality is implemented through the use of fully documented procedures, in-
process monitoring and process control (including SPC), and 100% production testing of devices using state-of-
the-art automated test equipment. As a world class manufacturer, PerkinElmer’s concept of product quality
includes Total Quality Management (TQM) and Just In Time (JIT) delivery.
Quality is a measure of how well a device conforms to its specifications. Reliability is a measure of how well a
device performs over time. PerkinElmer insures the reliability of its products by careful design and by the period-
ic testing of random samples taken from the manufacturing lines. Reliability tests include temperature cycles,
thermal shock, room ambient life tests, elevated temperature life tests, high and low temperature storage, tem-
perature/humidity tests, and water immersion.
PerkinElmer also performs special tests covering a wide range of environmental and life stress conditions to
support non-standard, custom applications. The information generated not only assures the customer that the
device will work well in a particular application, but also contributes to our data base for continual product
improvement.
Driven by our goal of continuous improvement and the needs of customers, PerkinElmer runs an active product
improvement program. PerkinElmer continuously evaluates new materials, manufacturing processes, and pack-
aging systems in order to provide our customers with the best possible product.
PerkinElmer’s quality works: we are an ISO 9000 and QS 9000 certified supplier (ship to stock - no inspection
required) to a number of major customers.
