Technology continues to thrust the world into high speed production creating a service-on-demand environment in a variety of fields including custom stainless steel fabrication. OEMs are not only looking for custom products from quality fabricators, but they’re also looking for the shortest lead times for filling orders.
Providing custom stainless steel fabrication can set any manufacturing company ahead of the game when it comes to bidding for OEM projects. However, providing custom fabrications in two to three days may just blow the competition right out of the water.
Standard
Lead Time
In
the past, most manufactures offered standard metal fabrication by
creating desired metal structures through cutting, bending and
assembling processes. Taking raw materials and turning them into
useable products took anywhere from one to two weeks. These were
acceptable lead times given the initial project of the OEMs and other
customers most often required even longer production time before the
fabricated materials were needed.
A
New Era
As
technology advanced so did the metal fabricating industry. Machinery
and equipment evolved giving fabricators the tools and skills to
transform materials into top notch, high quality fabricated metal
products in half the time. The versatility of stainless steel pushed
fabricators to a whole new level of fabricating techniques enabling
them to produce an even greater spectrum of custom stainless steel
fabrication in rapid turnaround times.
Quality
Work in Exceptional Time
Today,
shorter lead time availability is in high demand. However, some OEMs
may be questioning whether or not they will have to cut down on
quality if they want to cut down on time. The short answer is no.
Many of today’s leading manufacturers recognize the need for both quality and rapid production. Quality control continues to be of utmost importance in order to provide customers with exceptional products in the least amount of time.
Short
Lead Times Win
Engineering
and manufacturing companies looking to set themselves apart from the
competition should focus on quality products with the shortest lead
times.
