Design Chain Associates, LLC focuses on assisting manufacturers in two
areas:

First, we help companies understand, as well as stay informed regarding,
world-wide product-focused environmental compliance requirements such as
RoHS (EU/China/Japan/Korea/California, etc.), REACH, EuP, and so on; the
potential impact on their operations, markets, and customers; and develop
and implement strategies and tactics that range from ensuring compliance to
industry leadership and competitive advantage.

Second, we help companies mitigate downstream supply chain risks and
increase engineering and procurement efficiency by ensuring that the right
suppliers and components are selected during the early stages of the product
development lifecycle process. Our approach to business process development
and depth of knowledge of industry best practices results in faster
time-to-market, improved ramp capabilities, and greater profitability.

DCA's broad client base ranges from members of the Fortune 20 to series C
start-ups in the US and abroad, as well as industry associations,
publishers, and governments.
