In today's #Automotiveindustry, supply disruption isn't solely a concern for high-volume Tier 1 suppliers. Specialized low-volume suppliers, despite their niche expertise, pose similar risks to OEMs, often leading to production delays and #Quality issues. 💼 Even global #Automotive giants face challenges, especially during new model launches, highlighting the need for robust supplier management strategies.   Find out more about how TRIGO can help OEMs tackle this issue in this insightful article written by Neil E. ➡️ https://lnkd.in/ebSgjCa4   #AutomotiveIndustry #SupplierRisk #LowVolumeSuppliers #OEMs #ThirdPartySupport #SupplyDisruption #SupplierManagement #Manufacturing #QualityControl

82%* of executives are either moving overseas factories back to the US or are in the process of doing so — and as OEMs realize the total costs of ownership of #MadeInUSA components to be lower on average and declining, many are asking: What is the best approach to #Reshoring? What do you look for in a parts supplier? When producing or assembling parts, #OEMs should turn to suppliers that can truly address #SupplyChain gaps and overall manufacturability through design enhancements, advanced product quality planning, and material offsets.

The eight wastes of manufacturing are: 1. Defects – Efforts caused by rework, scrap and incorrect information. 2. Overproduction – Making too much, or too soon. 3. Waiting – Wasted time waiting for the next step in the process. 4. Non-utilized human potential – skills, talents, and creativity 5. Transport – Unnecessary movement of product and material. 6.Inventory – Excess product & materials not being processed. 7. Movement – Unnecessary movement by people. 8. Extra Processing – Non-value adding activities in the process that are unnecessary.

After 20 years in the metal fabrication industry, I've seen firsthand how purchasing departments struggle to balance quality and cost. The pressure to keep budgets in check while ensuring that quality standards are met is a common challenge—especially when it comes to sourcing custom or precision metal components. For heavy machinery OEMs, the challenges are even more pronounced: - Limited Supplier Pool: Sourcing specialized components often means relying on a few suppliers, limiting bargaining power and leading to higher prices and supply disruptions. - Quality Control Concerns: Opting for lower-cost options can result in quality issues, leading to increased costs and impacting customer relationships. - Hidden Costs of Cutting Corners: Choosing cheaper materials or vendors may seem cost-effective initially but can lead to delays, defects, and maintenance issues, eroding savings over time. To address these challenges, consider: - Qualifying Multiple Vendors: Diversify suppliers to enhance flexibility. - Strategic Partnerships: Cultivate long-term relationships with suppliers to ensure quality and proactive problem-solving. - Investing in Quality Control Processes: Implement stringent processes to maintain standards and prevent costly issues. Successful teams find creative solutions to the quality-cost trade-off. What strategies have you implemented? Share your experiences in the comments—let's discuss!

Production in manufacturing:🏭🛠💡🔌🪛 In manufacturing, PRODUCTION: Refers to the process of transforming raw materials or components into finished goods through various operations such as machining, assembly, and packaging etc. It involves the utilization of equipment, labor, and resources to create products that meet specific quality standards and customer requirements. Production in manufacturing encompasses activities such as planning, scheduling, monitoring, and controlling the manufacturing processes to ensure efficient and timely delivery of goods to the market. #strategicplanning #procurement #manufacturing #qualitycontrol #packagingandlogistics #salesandmarketing #ContinuousImprovementInitiatives #FacilityMaintenanceandOptimization

In manufacturing practices, goods production often spans multiple countries and involves numerous smaller contract manufacturers. Regardless of the complexity of this network, the company that initiated its design is responsible for the final product and must ensure its safety and effectiveness. Therefore, when outsourcing the assembly of product components to third-party manufacturers, it is imperative to establish effective procedures to maintain product quality. One key aspect of ensuring quality is specifying torque values for fasteners in product assembly. Torque, which is the rotational force applied to fasteners like screws or bolts, plays a critical role in ensuring their proper function. Insufficient or excessive torque can lead to structural issues, compromising the integrity of the product.
