There is intense pressure to remain competitive, flexible and cost-effective in today’s markets. OEM manufacturers constantly strive to increase market share while streamlining production and cutting costs.
The medical device market is a perfect example. According to Moody’s website, alliances between hospitals and doctors have reduced the influence medical device makers have in selling products directly to physicians. In the future it is hospitals that will be making the purchases. Hospitals operate under budgets and therefore have many reasons to demand price cuts.
The machine shop that can reduce lead times and produce quality parts will have an advantage in this competitive market. Scheduling is the critical link between ordering and execution. It represents a balance between demand, capacity and the supply chain. It is key to remaining economical.
Normal lead time for machine shops is four weeks or more. Customers always ask for better lead times. Here at Connecticut Plastics we listen to our customers. We are a state of the art CNC plastic machine shop that is always adding the latest in equipment in order to increase our capabilities. We can often supply components in 1-2 weeks to meet critical scheduling demands.
