From Start to Finish

Ever wonder how an assembly makes it's way through the manufacturing process? When a new team member joins our company, one of the first things we do is train them on the journey an assembly makes, from customer purchase order to a completed assembly shipped to its final destination.

We start with inputting the purchase order into our database, making sure all the information is correct. We generate a work order and the work order gets handed off to our kitting team. The kit gets assembled and any wire or cable the assembly needs gets cut. The completed kit then gets sent to production. A production worker will begin assembly and, depending on the size of the assembly, will get help from other production team members. Our inspector checks the assemblies at designated stopping points throughout the assembly process to make sure our workmanship standards are adhered to. Once the assembly is complete, it is handed in to our quality assurance department for overall inspection and testing. After giving the assembly the stamp of approval, it gets packaged, put into a shipping box, and leaves that very same day.

Once a year we do a company-wide training to refresh everyone on the various processes associated with an assembly's journey through our shop. It's fun to see the different teams peek into areas of the shop they generally don't work in and see work they normally aren't involved in. We cheer each other on as we follow a mock assembly through the shop, from kitting to shipping. Seeing how the processes all fit together helps everyone recognize how important their work is and how teamwork is essential in getting that work done.
