In the manufacturing world it is often said that there are three metrics: quality, speed, and precision (tolerance). Typically you pick the metric most important to you and then pay through the nose to accomplish the other two.
You don’t have to choose one metric above another. It is possible to balance speed-to-market with high quality precision engineered parts. Harbec’s Quick Manufacturing Solutions (QMS) is our own proprietary method of supplying customers with high quality, short-to-medium run plastic parts in any material and design, and with a focus on speed-to-market.
 To achieve multiple objectives we work closely with our customers to focus on solutions while “managing the queue”. What many customers are delighted to discover about Harbec is that our business has three unique but interrelated units: (1) models and prototypes, (2) precision molds and tools, and (3) production injection molding. As a business with all of the right tools, processes, and expertly trained people, we help our customers achieve speed-to-market through our QMS and in-house capabilities. You don’t have to wait for the transfer or transport of designs, models, molds or parts.
Our February and March newsletter and blog feature capabilities for achieving speed, precision, and quality. This month we point to our capabilities in model making and rapid prototypes. Next month we will feature insight into our flexible mold making and ability to reduce cycle time for production injection molding. All of this adds up to precious seconds, minutes, hours, and days that translate into tangible value to the bottom-line.
