Process Map
Manufacturing support as a quality assurance tool.
AMI organizes manufacturing routes around quality requirements, cost risk, supplier readiness, and production practicality. The process categories below translate AMI's manufacturing reference into a clear working map for prototype, small-batch, and production support.
