Multi Process Part Sourcing

Placing machining, gear cutting, MIM, stamping, ceramic and stainless fabricated parts with one supplier instead of five.

An assembly rarely uses one process. A single subassembly can need a machined housing, a cut gear, a sintered pinion, a stamped rivet and a ceramic insulator, and each one bought separately adds a quotation cycle, a sample cycle and a shipment. This route is about collapsing that.

Stage by Stage

Where Sourcing Breaks and How It Is Closed

Bill of Materials Review

Parts of one assembly sit with different suppliers, so lead times never line up.

The whole part list is reviewed at once and grouped by process, so machined, gear, MIM, stamped, ceramic and stainless items can run on one schedule.

Process Assignment

A part is quoted by the only process a supplier owns, not the one that suits it.

Small gears can go to metal injection molding or to machining depending on volume and geometry, and the choice is made per part rather than per supplier.

Common Documentation

Five suppliers means five drawing revisions and five sets of inspection records.

Drawings, revisions and inspection requirements are held in one place, under ISO 9001 and ISO/TS 16949 quality systems.

Consolidated Sampling

Sample rounds land weeks apart so the assembly cannot be trial built.

Samples are coordinated so the parts of one assembly arrive together and can be fitted rather than inspected in isolation.

Assembly

Subassembly work gets pushed back to the buyer because no supplier owns all the parts.

Assembling processes are part of the offer, so parts made in house can be supplied fitted rather than loose.

Single Shipment

Several small shipments cost more and each one is a separate customs event.

Parts are packed together in PP bag, carton, crate or box to your packing specification and shipped from Hangzhou as one consignment.

Multi Process Part Sourcing Questions

Which processes can be placed together?

Precision machining, gear cutting, metal injection molding, sheet metal and stamping, ceramic parts and stainless fabricated items such as flanges, ball valves and manways.

Can you assemble parts before shipment?

Assembling processes are part of what NOWARUN offers, so parts made in house can be supplied fitted rather than loose.

Do small gears have to be machined?

No. Small module gears can be produced by metal injection molding in stainless steel, iron based steel or alloy based steel where the volume and geometry suit it.

What quality systems cover the work?

The source site states that products are aligned with ISO 9001 and ISO/TS 16949 quality certificate systems, and the certificates are shown on the capabilities page.

How is a mixed order packed?

In PP bag, carton, crate or box, or to the packing specification you supply, and shipped from Hangzhou.
