Assisting Customer in Outsourcing of Their Complete Manufacturing Process(click on thumbnail to enlarge)  Assisting Customer in Outsourcing of Their Complete Manufacturing Process | When a client approached California Brazing & Nevada Heat Treating about outsourcing a complete manufacturing process, there were several problems they were looking to solve. Suffering from dated brazing equipment and a decline in brazing technical expertise, they also needed to gain additional floor space for core processes. Additionally, they weren't interested in investing in non-core processing processes. An ideal potential vendor would have process-specific technical expertise and state-of-the-art equipment, as well as the ability to manage a complex bill of materials and supply chain. The ideal vendor would also feature mature and proven business processes, existing quality approvals and accreditations, and process control with SPC analysis. |
By outsourcing the complete manufacturing process to California Brazing/Nevada Heat Treating-including purchasing, machining, clean room assembly, brazing, inspection, and testing-our client was able to effectively resolve their process-related issues. By working in three distinct phases, we were able to completely transition our client's project. During the first phase, our client outsourced only brazing services; during the second phase, our client outsourced both brazing and assembly services; and during the third phase our client outsourced the remainder of the process. California Brazing/Nevada Heat Treating effectively met and surpassed all our client's requirements. To learn more about this project please contact California Brazing/Nevada Heat Treating.
