With the sheer number of original equipment manufacturing (OEM) companies in operation throughout the globe, it can be difficult to know how to choose an OEM partner. At this point, you understand the services you need, but you might not yet know the differentiators that make a great OEM partner.
As you narrow down your options, it’s important to keep these four characteristics in mind:
- Quality of standards, components, and raw materials
- On-time delivery based on an agreed-upon schedule that emphasizes fast lead times and quality products
- Experience with a variety of industries, processes, and cutting edge technologies
- Customer service that incorporates quality assurance throughout the process
In this article, we expand upon the four core capabilities that we briefly touched on above. In our three decades of experience, we have found these capabilities to be the most important to creating and maintaining successful partnerships.
1. Quality
At VPIC, quality doesn’t just apply to the components that we create; it also applies to the way we manage our processes. By incorporating an internal management system into our processes, we are able to track our projects in an advanced product quality planning framework.
Our quality standards have received ISO-certification, which is the international certificate met under guidelines for quality assurance in installation, production, and service provision. This means we consistently deliver quality components at less than 50 PPM, so you can optimize costs while reducing risk.
Our internal management system is supplemented with an ERP management system that allows for a seamless flow of processes, from the client’s product order to logistics management, delivery of the finished product, and everything in between. This system also facilitates communication with customers to streamline the flow of information.
2. On-Time Delivery
On-time delivery is a reflection of the entire manufacturing process. When a product is delivered on time, you can trust that each step leading to that point in the process has been completed accurately and efficiently.
Our entire process ensures the best, fastest results so that you don’t lose your competitive edge in the marketplace or absorb otherwise unnecessary costs, like expedited shipping or slow time-to-market, which can erode the addressable market that your product needs to be sold into. On our end, we ensure that our equipment undergoes routine preventative maintenance for minimal downtime and schedule delays.
When we set a schedule with you, we stick to it. This promise has allowed us to provide some of the fastest lead times of any OEM supplier.
3. Experience
Over our 30 years in business, we have worked with countless customers in a variety of industries throughout North America, Europe, and Asia. Our production capabilities and knowledge have earned us a reputation as a world-class producer of high-quality components and products.
