Make your problem ours
Sometimes this is referred to as "BPO" Business Process Outsourcing, which is why when you deal with some financial services call-center, they often sound, foreign and far-away, that's because they are.
Our aim is not to frustrate you, and mis-understand you, but to remove a part of your manufacturing problem, so that you can focus on your core business. Do you have a particular component or part that:
- by itself causes production delays with monotonous regularity?
- is proving to have quality issues that are intractable?
- is used as leverage against you because you only have a single supplier?
- is proving just too expensive to manufacture?
In these instances, we will apply our minds and experience with the result that we:
- guarantee manufacture to the quality levels you require,
- ensure that you have stock available,
- keep the on-going manufacturing costs to an agreed target
- free up your time and energy to focus on your core business
- reduce your operational and non-delivery risk
- allow you to free up capital for use elsewhere in your business
How is this possible?
Machining Efficiency
Our business is quite simple, and we do a few things extremely well, and other things we don't even bother getting involved in. This complete focus on machining for manufacture and the 40 years of learnings we have from doing just this, allows us to identify opportunities for efficiency gains that are subtle. It could be as simple as using the correct type of CNC machine for the job, or designing the correct number of operations needed, or even just getting the sweet spot of tooling life vs speed of machining.
Process Efficiency
There's nothing like an unnecessary process step efficiently executed, one of the greatest mistakes to be made in manufacturing. This is a form of waste, but waste comes in lots of disguises:
- unnecessary movement
- unnecessary transportation
- waiting and idleness
- over engineered processes
- excess production
- in-efficiency of scale
- poor discipline
- unstructured record keeping
- poorly constructed incentives
- rework
- defects
Procurement Efficiency
Because we use a lot of metal, from Titanium to Tantalum, from Spring Steel to Stainless Steel, we can often pool resources and get better deals on metals.
Allow us to help you by doing what we do best, so you can focus on doing what you do best.
