Product design is changing much faster now than ever before. Expectations are that time-to-market must be reduced, regardless of whether the manufacturing capabilities can keep up. In addition, more customization is being offered, requiring smaller quantities of multiple versions of a design. That means that more businesses are turning away from traditional manufacturing and switching to low-volume assembly to save money.

With Globaltech Venture’s low-volume or small-batch assembly services, your business will have more flexible options. You can avoid the high volumes often required of more traditional manufacturing companies when what you need is only a few hundred pieces. In addition, we have the flexibility to meet your timing preferences, particularly if prototype parts can be used to fill some of the component needs.

There are several advantages to low-volume assembly operations, including:

  • Transitions to High-Volume, Low-Mix Production

Manufacturers can use low-volume assembly as a stepping stone to high-volume, low-mix production. It allows you to increase the variety of products you offer without raising production volume until you are ready to do so. It also offers a bridge from prototype to production manufacturing when the tooling and plant reconfigurations are not ready.

  • Adaptability to Changes in Material Availability

When designs or availability of materials change, you can use GTV’s low-volume assembly to quickly change production plans. For example, you can substitute a part made on a prototype injection mold or using another prototype technology for one from a production tool while the production part is being redesigned. Or if you are considering different materials, you can have small volumes of parts produced with each material so you can evaluate the best design for the final assembly.

  • Better Design Flexibility

In low-volume assembly, you have more design flexibility. Since you are not worried about the high-volume manufacturing considerations such as automation and inventory, you can make design changes quickly. This allows you to produce similar parts with slight design changes, or to adapt to changing consumer needs quickly.
