Kitting Can Save Your Business Money on Order Fulfillment

When it comes to order fulfillment, businesses are always on the lookout for new ways to slash costs and speed up business transactions. In this case, there’s always the option of kitting to consider.

Kitting Defined
What is kitting exactly? It essentially involves the assembly of individual products into packages that are ready to ship. In the manufacturing industry, the term ‘kitting’ is typically utilized interchangeably with ‘assembly’, which usually encompasses the combining of two or more finished items into a bigger group.

Is Kitting Right For Your Business?
Are you considering kitting your products? If so, it makes more sense to incorporate it if you are typically fulfilling orders with multiple products that combine to make up a complete product.  Using kitting no items are overlooked or forgotten.

For instance, if you sell self-help books online, and have a series of four books that have to do with overcoming anxiety, you can offer customers […]

A Guide to Optimizing Your Bill of Materials (BOM)

No matter how simple or complicated, every manufacturing project, whether it’s a unique one-off product or repeat process production, has a Bill of Materials (BOM), which is crucial to effectively organize and communicate the details of your project to others.

Consider the following tips to improve communication, slash costs, and avoid bad design decisions along the journey from the planning stages to production.

Be Very Detailed
Your documentation needs to be so detailed that it will allow every employee who has never read or seen your design files before to recreate products from scratch without hiccups, including quality control specifications. If they find that impossible to do, your documentation is not up to par.

It’s important to review and add in your own specifications in order to make sure you’re as thorough as possible, and your employees make the product consistently and adhere to the design specs.

Avoid Ambiguity in Your BOM
Ideally, you want to […]

Small Quantity Metal Supplier Handles Growth with Easy Transition to Linux-based ERP Software

With a growing number of manufacturers, machine shops, tool and die makers, and contractors in the Delaware Valley around Philadelphia requiring metal parts, business is good for Metal Stock, a small quantity metal supplier in the area.

Most metal vendors and distributors in the region have responded to rising demand by consolidating their service centers and catering mostly to those buying large volumes. As a result, they have left the many who require smaller volumes by the wayside, facing longer delivery times and fewer choices.

In contrast, Metal Stock has kept its faith with the smaller buyer who doesn’t want much but still needs fast, efficient service and a wide selection. Consequently, its business has boomed — so much so, that in 2004 president Ken Bell ended his company’s 10-year relationship with a franchiser and set the metal supplier on an independent course from which it has never looked back.
