Being a former chef, I love the recipes, ingredients, processes, and teamwork to make the perfect dish. It is no different in the world of manufacturing. We seek all the highest quality ingredients, world class recipes, processes, and procedures. Plus we have highly trained Teammates that know how to make their part of the dish the best way possible.
Just like i
n any dish, ingredients are the most important part of recipe, and the freshest ingredients work the best. Along with freshness, we also demand quality. With every lot of powder we receive, we receive a Certificate of Analysis that ensures we are getting what we expect from our suppliers.
Just as techniques and time limits to whisking, cooking, and baking for each new dish are defined, we take particular care in our recipes and processes when we create a new part. We take it one step further. We start with the end product, and design a Process Flow that tells us what steps are needed to make the best part. We then go through what could possibly go wrong with each step of the process, creating a Potential Failure Mode and Effect Analysis. We then create the recipe, a Control Plan. Based on the Process Flow and PFMEA, we design what we should do in each step, including how much weight of material it needs and what molds we need to make the part. We specify the temperatures and finishing processes to make it the best possible part to meet our customers’ specifications.
Just like any gourmet dish, a team of hands and experience goes into the making of the parts. From the Head Chef to the Saucier in the kitchen, the same quality of talent and commitment is put into designing and creating our process for production. Sales kicks off with the customer specific requirements and design requirements for a part. Engineering and Quality choose materials and equipment required to make the parts. Production adds experience to the process to create efficiency and repeatability. Our team works together to provide quality and consistency that will encourage any customer to come back for more.
Just like cooking that perfect chocolate soufflé and watching your customer enjoy your hard work, we get that same pleasure when we make your parts in our kitchen.
