Manufacturing Services: Overview and Benefits of Outsourcing

 “Give me six hours to chop down a tree. And I will spend the first four hours sharpening the ax,” said Abraham Lincoln. Manufacturing starts with clear design thinking and planning which is like sharpening the ax.

 Manufacturing is the process of adding value to the raw materials by making them into a whole product. Manufacturing Engineers involve in design, production, supply chain, and logistics. The industries they work in are wide including electrical goods, vehicles, aircraft, food and beverages, medical supplies, and pharmaceuticals. 


Manufacturing Engineering Services start with the designing process and move from concept to the development of the products. The scope of these services is more complex than any other engineering service. Their scope includes:

  • Designing the products
  • Selecting the right technologies and processes to manufacture the product
  • Plan, design, and engineer facilities to produce the product
  • Oversee the running, management, maintenance, and improvement of the product

 The Manufacturing Process:

Research 

They explore the new concepts or materials for products as well as improve the products. They also try to find the next big thing that could edge their client in the market.

Design

They design considering what the customer wants. They need to consider the lifecycle of the product and even how to dispose at the end of its life.

Development

They design and prototype the product and make it into a manufacturable product. 

Production

Production engineers optimize the manufacturing process. They convert the prototype into a

product.

Quality Assurance

Quality control is the life of the product. They review the quality of the products and instruct and supervise to ensure the desired quality.

Outsource the Manufacturing Services

Outsourcing manufacturing can save a minimum of 15% in costs. It can reduce significant long-term cost, save cost to you and your customers, and ultimately helps in better product outreach.
