MES Lead time advantage
MES Lead time advantage:
What are the standard lead time being quoted by your domestic die casting tooling supplier? We have developed 27 die castings in 2013 alone with average lead time of 45 calendar days… Application below is a lighting industry casting – about 1+ kg – PPAP submission on 40th day! Additionally,
- Tooling cost savings of 40%-60% over domestic suppliers
- Pre-tooling design reviews for DFM inputs (Design for Manufacturing), gate locations, vent locations, ejector pins
- MoldFlow – $1000 (for most parts less than 4 kgs) – with sourcing letter of intent ($2000 for parts – over 5 kgs)
- Weekly timelines
- Chinese based office – 9 full time engineers and 2 sourcing managers
- We work with 11 current die casting factories and have 6 more approved die casting factories in our quality system
We are proud to report the Case study in the early 2013 to show our ability to meet the customer goal.
