Qualtek’s Performance Standards Meet  GMP’s for each client’s industry AS9100Measuring Up to Client’s Quality Medical Device Success A large Medical Device manufacturer designed a stainless steel disposable instrument and needed to find a partner to design the process and manufacture the part. They wanted a partner with expertise in designing a process that would economically produce millions of parts. They also needed a manufacturer that had multiple capabilities (stamping and finishing) to produce the product in house to control the quality, reduce lead-time, and minimize shipping costs. Qualtek engineers designed an advanced progressive die that meet the stringent dimensional requirements and part output needs of this large volume opportunity. We also had the capability to apply a novel electro-polished finish on the part which eliminated impeding glare as doctors used the instrument. The customer was able to grow this exciting product line from zero to hundreds of thousands of parts in only 2 years. Aerospace Fastening Device Success A large supplier to the aerospace industry developed a novel fastening device that was so successful that it blew away their ability to keep up with demand with the manufacturing process they designed. They were having multiple manufacturing steps done at outsource partners 1,000’s of mile apart. Their lead times were going out to more than 3 months, stifling growth; and freight and quality costs were eating away their profitability. Qualtek developed an in house process that met their high quality standards, requirements for fast lead times, and their ever-increasing demand. Qualtek engineers developed sophisticated tooling that produced high volume intricate stamped parts. Our in house Passivating Department created a unique chemistry that provided a super clean surface with tremendous throughput. We also implemented a KANBAN system that assured the right amount of parts at the right time. The result of Qualtek solutions was a reduction of lead times from 6 months to 2 weeks, a 200% increase of available product to the ever-growing customer base and a 40% reduction in product cost.
