Some Examples Of Our Work

Strategic outsourcing partner

A leading international manufacturer of electrical accessories were producing all components in house.

In order to focus on core activities and increase profitability, they needed a strategic outsourcing partner that they could trust. After a detailed evaluation, they decided to outsource all presswork components to HV Wooding.

Challenges

• 72 components with variation/tooling requirements had to be managed.
• Many of these components required by the customer on short lead-times.
• Needed to smoothly integrate into HV Wooding plant, without adversely impacting the service to the client
• New manufacturing solutions were needed for non-tooled parts

Solutions

• Full analysis of all tooling and kitting to suit HV Wooding machines.
• Project Managed implementation - established dedicated team.
• Took over the management of material supply chain.
• Agreed quality/delivery criteria for all components
• Innovative approach - used our Buffer Managed production solution.
• Copper Busbars produced using Fibre Laser Machine as a cost effective low to medium volume solution until higher quantities are required.

Brief description of what difference we made… immediately and longer term:

1. Created immediate space at customer premises for core activity.
2. Freed up customer managerial and technical resources.
3. Customer no longer purchasing raw materials, cash flow benefit.
4. Developed cost effective solutions for new components.

Added Value

1. Significantly reducing costs with single sourced supplier for a wide cross section of components and sub-assemblies.
2. Significantly improving customer’s own service levels  by delivering  99% “on time in full” with high quality product
3. Saving client up to 15% - introduced improved cost effective process for Comb Busbars – Fibre Laser (Copper)
