Stillwater, MN-November 2, 2006-UFE Incorporated has developed a new guide to help companies identify the best attributes of prospective contract assembly partners. Raise Your A.Q. (Assembly Quotient) and Pick the Right Contract Assembly Partner is a handy, online self-examination. Outsourced manufacturing has been accepted, embraced and is growing, yet even seasoned engineers are committing oversights and errors in design and vendor selection that result in excessive cost, extended schedules, and reduced output. Companies considering outsourcing an assembly process will learn the fundamental questions to answer about themselves and their prospective partners in order to create the best assembly partnership.
The new booklet is the fourth in UFE's PARTS SMARTS(TM) booklet series. These objective guides have been created to help engineers design and build better, more cost-effective plastic parts, molds and assemblies. This latest booklet addresses the many manufacturing functions that must be performed in addition to assembly, such as product design and development, sourcing, component manufacturing, marketing, distribution and servicing, and product design improvements. The booklet encourages professionals to review and address a series of essential questions before selecting an assembly partner, to ensure the partner they choose is a good complement to their own capabilities.
