Could certified quality components streamline your operation?

Looking for a way to streamline your receiving operation? Feeling JIT pressure to reduce time and inventory between your suppliers and your factories? Consider using Fordsell’s process control expertise as the front end to your production. Over half of our business comes from customers who already do.

One of our customers has given us a “certified product” designation—once we prove ourselves for 3 lots in a row (including documentation of our operating methods and inspection instructions), they forgo receiving inspection on their end. This reduces their cost, improves part flow, and reduces their inventory requirements.

 

Another customer literally uses our process control plan to bypass their need for receiving inspection. We submit a process control plan, work out a set of quality standards and jointly review a series of production runs.  Once our process controls are accepted, we ship directly from our shop floor to our customer's assembly operation. Again, they save the inspection costs and the time between our shop and their finished product. And we earn the right to serve another customer.

Average savings? May not be much in direct part costs, but they see it in their receiving area. And so will you.  Average satisfaction? It soars when Fordsell customers know they can meet their production schedules with minimal hassle on the front end.
