Case Study: Leading Cloud Service Providing Company achieves rapid, large-scale motherboard production with Flex

Conquering the challenges of mass global production

Leading Cloud Service Providing Company faced exploding cloud growth and needed a trusted partner to design and mass-produce high-quality server motherboards at scale without errors that would delay deployment or increase TCO. They engaged Flex, leveraging Sketch-to-Scale® services and the Flex Product Lifecycle (FPLC) to turn an early motherboard sketch into a production-ready design and global manufacturing plan.

Flex applied design-for-manufacturability from its Taiwan design center, coordinated close-design-to-factory transitions, and used its global supply chain to reroute production within three months and mitigate an MLCC capacitor shortage so production never halted. As a result, Flex began delivering hundreds of thousands of motherboards within nine months, providing rapid scale, cost control, tariff insight and supply-chain flexibility for the customer.
