How Can Contract Assembly Save Money?

When companies opt for contract assembly, they outsource the assembly portion of their manufacturing process to a company that is better-equipped to tackle the challenge. Doing so allows their teams to focus on their core activities, while leaving complex assembly to experts. Not only does contract assembly help businesses achieve great results, it helps them save money.

How does contract assembly cut costs?

• Companies do not have to invest in the infrastructure and equipment required for assembly. These costs can stretch into the tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars, and contractors take on the expense to purchase and maintain newer, industry-leading equipment.
•  Businesses do not have to train employees in the complex processes of assembly. This saves money and allows them to use their resources (both monetary and human capital) to achieve their core objectives.
• Quality assembly contractors often offer in-house engineering services. This takes the burden off businesses for the hiring or paying consulting fees for a high-priced engineer.
• Assembly contractors are extensively trained in proper packaging and kitting. This greatly reduces time lost to sorting, finding necessary components, or de-trashing parts and allows employees to work more efficiently.
• The contractor assumes responsibility for code compliance (e.g. AS9100 and ISO9001). This again frees invaluable time and resources for other essential tasks while ensuring that the assemblies are 100% compliant.
• The more a part or piece is handled, the greater the chance for waste or error. A complete assembly results in higher quality pieces and reduces mistakes.

Outsourcing the assembly process enables companies to achieve greater efficiency and efficacy throughout their operations. When they choose a trusted, expert contractor the savings quickly add up.
