Partnering For Success
Partnering For Success
August 22, 2018Among the characteristics that make Ramcel exceptional is our ability to adapt and address specific client needs—whether it be engineering quality, tooling, or other aspects of the manufacturing operation. We are frequently asked by customers to study their parts manufacturing process in search of areas where greater efficiencies and profitability can be achieved. This document provides an example where a multi-billion-dollar customer challenged us to extend traditional boundaries in addressing two critical objectives:
- Assist them in exiting the manufacturing process.
- Help in parts redesign, engineering, and tooling.
To accomplish these objectives, Ramcel established a unique relationship with our customer to add greater value to their products while remaining cost-effective.
Partnering For Success
Manufacturing is our core. Our customer—a recognized and highly respected brand—had been manufacturing their products in-house for some time. They believed that manufacturing internally would better manage their supply chain and reduce costs.
However, in 2017, they recognized that precision manufacturing was both capital intensive and outside their core competencies. It did not meet their expectations. They needed to exit manufacturing without threatening their reputation for high quality. A sophisticated manufacturer was needed—someone with the expertise and resources to assume such responsibility.
Ramcel Precision Stamping and Manufacturing was their chosen solution. Our customer selected us to create a partner-type relationship. This involved Ramcel acquiring existing manufacturing equipment, adapting tooling, establishing performance parameters, implementing strict quality control, and assuming full responsibility for the manufacturing process.
Engineering Expertise
As part of this unique relationship, Ramcel is now a critical resource for our customers in product design, development, processes, and production. Our Engineering Team collaborates with our customers at the conceptual and part design phase, utilizing our expertise to simplify the production of complex parts.
Our experience in engineering, precision stamping, and assembly resulted in part redesigns that improved performance while becoming more cost-effective. Our collaboration with the customer is resulting in fewer component parts within their design, making it less capital intensive to manage.
Strategic Partnering
In addition to the efficient redesign of selected parts, Ramcel Precision Stamping and Manufacturing is now managing much larger portions of our customer’s supply chain and raw materials.
Our experience and involvement have also resulted in a major redesign of the next-generation platform for our customer’s brand—a platform serving as the foundation of multiple SKUs and product variations. We have enhanced part performance, added functionality, generated greater efficiency, and delivered lower costs. Overall, the return on our customer’s investment in tooling, manufacturing, and inventory has improved.
