A coordinated supply chain for parts that come together

Bring custom-fabricated and sourced components into a project scope that can include hardware insertion, sub-assembly, BOM kitting, inspection and packaging. The agreed scope can be quoted and purchased through a single point of coordination.

Before work begins, review the BOM, released drawing revisions, quantities, materials, acceptance criteria and delivery requirements. Process availability, quality records, commercial hardware and shipment arrangements are confirmed for each order.

  • Hardware insertion and fastener integration
  • Sub-assembly and kits counted to BOM
  • BOM and drawing revision control

Three operations, scoped around your build

Hardware and fastener integration

Specify the insert, fastener and check

Where available and specified, hardware such as self-clinching nuts, studs, rivet nuts or threaded inserts can be fitted to metal, molded or machined parts. Installation method, hardware source and any thread, torque or retention checks are agreed before production.

  • Insertion method defined by component and hardware
  • Verification and records agreed per project

Sub-assembly and BOM kitting

Prepare parts for the next build step

Components may be counted into kits by build quantity or joined into defined mechanical sub-assemblies. Labels, packaging, fit checks and any functional checks follow the approved BOM and work instructions.

  • Kits identified to agreed BOM lines
  • Assembly checks defined in the work instructions

BOM and revision control

Keep parts aligned to the released package

Review part numbers, quantities, drawing revisions and approved substitutions together. The production package and change-approval route are confirmed before the order is released.

  • Revision basis confirmed before production
  • Changes reviewed before affected work proceeds

Component categories

Parts and sourcing routes are reviewed against the project specification and confirmed before quotation.

Custom metal components

  • Machined
  • Sheet metal
  • Stamped
  • Laser cut
  • Tube and pipe

Plastic and elastomer components

  • Molded parts
  • Covers and housings
  • Gaskets
  • Seals

Commercial hardware

  • Screws and bolts
  • Inserts
  • Hinges

A single coordinated order

The quote can combine the agreed components, operations and supply items into one purchasing scope.

  • Project coordination

    A nominated contact can coordinate participating suppliers, assembly scope and delivery requirements.

  • Quality scope

    Acceptance criteria, inspection points and available records are agreed for the order.

  • Consolidated shipment

    When practical and agreed, kits or assemblies can be packed for a consolidated shipment.

Five steps from BOM to shipment

The sequence and acceptance points are confirmed for the parts and facilities in each order.

  1. 01

    Review BOM and revisions

    Confirm part numbers, quantities, released drawings, specifications, work instructions and requested records.

  2. 02

    Fabricate and source

    Confirm feasible manufacturing routes and source specified commercial components or approved equivalents.

  3. 03

    Inspect incoming components

    Check agreed characteristics, identification and documentation before components enter kitting or assembly.

  4. 04

    Insert hardware and assemble

    Perform the agreed insertion, kitting and sub-assembly work; record fit or function checks where included.

  5. 05

    Package and ship

    Pack and identify kits or assemblies to the agreed labeling, documentation and shipment requirements.

Assembly questions

Can one purchase order cover parts, kitting and assembly?

A single purchasing scope may be quoted for the agreed components and services. Supplier availability, commercial terms, shipment plan and PO structure are confirmed for each project.

Can you source commercial hardware by manufacturer part number?

Share the manufacturer and part number. Availability and supply route are checked; any proposed equivalent requires your approval before use.

How do you control BOM and drawing changes?

The revision basis is confirmed before release. Changes are reviewed for affected parts, inventory and work, then proceed through the agreed authorization process.

What inspection records can be supplied?

Inspection points and records are defined from your requirements and confirmed with the selected supply route before order.

Have a BOM or assembly package to review?

Share the BOM, released drawings and assembly requirements so the available processes, quality scope and delivery plan can be confirmed for quotation.
