Traditionally, OEMs have relied on multiple suppliers for products made from multiple parts. Cut-price suppliers require a ‘leap of faith’ and an experienced purchasing manager to place and monitor the orders. Some companies are completely dependent on suppliers they do not know and trust. Apart from leaving the business exposed to additional challenges, there is an added ‘unknown’ in the quality, logistics, storage & warehousing. Most importantly, the certainty of delivery is questionable, and there are no guarantees that the components will assemble as planned.
In an ideal world the OEM would have access to an Integrated Manufacturing Solution:
- All components would be available from a single source that conforms to your requirements as well as Australian and international standards
- The single source would be local and accountable for 100% of components and be industry benchmarking as ‘business-as usual’.
The ideal world is here. Machine Technology now has a state-of-the art Swiss-built Bystronic fiber laser cutting machine which ensures procurement and logistic efficiency and accuracy.
The flexibility of the new technology allows for a broader range of materials including aluminium, copper and brass and improves the existing IMS process.
For a finished product, each component design is loaded and cut to order with lightning speed. The new machine is 60% faster reducing manufacturing lead times and ensuring on time delivery.
Product assembly is easily made on-time-every-time. All of which stops your procurement nightmare and skyrocketing costs.
