There are some frequent misconceptions in the manufacturing sector about managing suppliers and utilizing specialty elements. At the Atlantic Design and style and Manufacturing Show in June of this year, Jacob Prak, CEO of Michigan Manufacturing International (MMI), discussed how making use of specialty components can aid customers save funds.

Prak stated that consumers may consider it is easier to manage a supplier who is nearby, alternatively of one that is far away. He mentioned, “The truth is that it is a lot more important to uncover the appropriate supplier than to uncover one that is in close proximity. MMI easily sources merchandise from all more than the globe.”

When a specialty element is desired, a common idea is that 1 ought to locate a supplier who specializes in the processes essential for that component. Nevertheless, by sourcing a product from a company who specializes in a specific method, a customer can get locked into using that approach. Prak supplied a greater resolution, saying, “It’s much better to find a manufacturer who can analyze the function of the part and then supply the most expense-efficient, ideal-performing manufacturing method to suit the scenario.”

While it is very best to use common elements when attainable, Prak noted that innovative products and styles will usually require particular elements due to their new and distinctive qualities. Special components are often designed to function a lot more successfully in a offered application or to take the place of multiple common elements, frequently saving funds.

In a recent example, a consumer came to MMI with a portion that consisted of a bamboo shaft that had been reinforced with a carbon fiber rod. The challenge was how to maintain the same weight and strength, but cut the price. Prak explained how MMI effectively met this aim. “We replaced the carbon fiber with an aluminum extrusion. The strength was maintained, and the result was a cost savings of about 25%.”
