Quality First - A Success Story
A few years ago, CMC was approached by a company in the mid-West that manufactures equipment used to collect atmospheric data. They needed a prototype and first-run components for a product under development. CMC manufactured the prototype and was asked to quote on production quantities. Unfortunately, our client obtained a bid from another source which quoted the job at a lower cost. We reviewed our bid but felt that in order to maintain the high level of quality required for this component we would be unable to reduce costs further. Reluctantly, we advised the client that we would not be able to meet the price set by the competing bid.
Several months later, this same client returned to CMC and advised us that their chosen supplier was not meeting quality or delivery expectations, which were now identified as the top two criteria. Were we still interested?
CMC reviewed the project and assigned a Team Leader to the case who met with the client to review the drawings and highlight critical masking requirements. Members of our team then met with an outside service provider responsible for plating and developed specific processing criteria for their use. Finally, we developed in-process and final inspection plans for our manufacturing and quality personnel to ensure that all client requirements would be met. Following an on-site First Article Inspection and approval of the components by the client, the order was released for full production.
At CMC, our goal is to meet your manufacturing needs at the
lowest possible cost … but we never sacrifice quality.
