We handle all phases of the process:
Competitive Bidding: We handle the competitive bidding process, giving you the option of making product with a few different vendors. We know our vendors and what they can do to reduce your costs.
Project Management: We will handle all problems that develop over the course of a job. Our project managers will track your work and keep you informed of the status of your work during all phases of production.
Quality Control: Our multilevel quality control system makes it possible for us to deliver the quality work our clents demand including high tolerance metal parts, assemblies and sub-assemblies, computer games, electrical, electonic and medical components. Our QC team will ensure that your product will adhere to American standards of qualit assurance be they made in the US or China.
So, how do you get started?
Step 1: Our RFQ process.
Our goal is to let our vendor know exactly what is expected of them. This means we must talk with your engineers and quality control people about any complicated assembly work.
Step 2: Getting the best pricing from the quality of vendor our client requires:
We get quotes from two or more vendors. More than quotes, we pre-qualify every vendor, confirm the materials, the vendors' capacity, and their quality systems.
Step 3: Developing a detailed project management timeline:
Once there is agreement on price, our program manager will make up a detailed project timeline. During this process all the steps that will be required to complete the project are discussed.
Step 4: Developing a quality control plan:
Your project manager will also put together a quality control plan to eliminate as much risk in the project as possible. Click here to find out more about our QC program.
Step 5: The tooling deposit and making the first article sample:
Once all details are nailed down, the client gives us a tooling deposit and pays the first article sampling fee and the manufacturing process in begun.
Step 6: A client visit to the vendor (Optional):
Some clients elect to visit our vendor before work goes into production. This trip is often made after the tooling is completed and the first article samples are ready for inspection.
Step 7: The project goes into production:
Once first article samples are approved, the project goes into production.
Step 8: Shipping:
Our representatives make sure the packaging plan is correct and the product is ready for shipping. At this point, to save our clients markup, we then turn the product over to their freight forwarder. If our client does not have one, we can recommend one.
