You're having difficulties with a precision component for a critical medical device. The part won't fit the assembly. Or the finish isn't right. Or the quality/consistency is hit and miss. Or any number of other issues. But your existing supplier – who perhaps has been reliable up until now – is pushing back: they did "exactly as instructed", they protest. They followed your drawings/CAD models "to the letter". So what went wrong? And how can it be fixed quickly and cost-effectively? You want a second opinion – is the issue with the supplier, the drawings or both?
Just-in-time manufacturing (JIT) has reshaped how you manage production and inventory in today's fast-moving industries. By focusing only on producing what is needed, when it's needed, you avoid overproduction and save valuable resources. This lean, agile approach helps improve efficiency across your entire operation.
