Key Benefits
-
Responsibility: The benefit to the customer is the ability of one supplier to be responsible for and control much of the machining operations without needing to go to a sub-supplier.
-
Short lead time: Extensive secondary allows Fordsell to respond to aggressive customer scheduling requirements by shifting resources appropriately across a wide range of equipment.
