Case Study
Subcontract Manfacturing to OEM's
Wrekin Sheetmetal Ltd is a subcontract manufacturing company that specialises in the production of sheet metal components for a variety of industries. The company has a long history of providing high-quality products and services to its customers, and has a reputation for being a reliable and trustworthy partner.
Subcontract Manufacturers
In recent years, Wrekin Sheetmetal has seen a growing demand for its services from OEMs (original equipment manufacturers). OEMs are companies that design and manufacture finished products, and often outsource the production of certain components to subcontract manufacturers. This is because subcontract manufacturers can often provide a more cost-effective and efficient way to produce these components.
Electrical Distribution Company
One such OEM is an electrical distribution company that was facing capacity constraints at its own manufacturing facility. The company contacted Wrekin Sheetmetal to see if the company could help with its production shortfalls. After a series of meetings and Wrekin Sheetmetal providing samples, the company's processes were approved and Wrekin Sheetmetal was able to begin production of the components.
Wrekin Sheetmetal was able to successfully produce the components to the OEM's specifications, and the company was able to meet its production goals. The OEM was so pleased with Wrekin Sheetmetal's performance that it has since placed additional orders with the company.
This case study demonstrates the value of subcontract manufacturing for OEMs. By outsourcing the production of certain components to a subcontract manufacturer, OEMs can free up resources to focus on their core competencies. This can lead to increased efficiency, improved quality, and reduced costs.
Benefits of Subcontract Manufacturing for OEMs
There are many benefits to subcontract manufacturing for OEMs. Some of the most common benefits include:
- Increased efficiency: Subcontract manufacturers can often produce components more efficiently than OEMs can in-house. This is because subcontract manufacturers have specialised equipment and expertise, and they can often produce components in larger volumes.
- Improved quality: Subcontract manufacturers often have strict quality control standards, which can help to ensure that the components they produce meet the OEM's specifications.
- Reduced costs: Subcontract manufacturing can often be a more cost-effective way to produce components than doing so in-house. This is because subcontract manufacturers can often take advantage of economies of scale, and they may be able to source raw materials at a lower cost.
Conclusion
Subcontract manufacturing can be a valuable tool for OEMs. By outsourcing the production of certain components to a subcontract manufacturer, OEMs can free up resources to focus on their core competencies. This can lead to increased efficiency, improved quality, and reduced costs.
