Early-Stage Production Planning
Did you know 70% of a product cost is locked in during the early design stage of a product development process. The best solutions start within the very early concept stage of a design where it matters most. At the very start of your project, you will be working with a TNK Manufacturing expert to get upfront key item costing for your project. Their expertise and network can streamline the manufacturing process and deliver high-quality results.
Early Component Selection
Finding reliable part suppliers early on reduces churn during downstream development, prototyping, and testing saving you valuable time and money. This helps you lock-in your product cost with predictability and ensures the parts will be there when you move to production.
Mechanical Part Sourcing
Knowing where to look and who to ask for the right component requires experience and knowledge. We identify (OTS) plastic, metal, rubber, and composite parts that get manufactured by many suppliers through a variety of processes. Then, we help you choose the right one. If a part or subassembly needs minor customization, we can also manage that process.
High-Level Key Item Cost Estimates
Getting parts and custom tooling pricing early helps your business plan for unit cost and production fees. It also helps the design team to make the appropriate decisions when refining features of your product design. Benefit from our knowledge, contacts, and existing supplier relationships which allow us to provide estimates of major parts/components early on.
Supplier and Production Quality Assurance
Ensuring quality during volume production is paramount to your products success. However, obtaining low-defect rates for dozens of critical functioning components is always a challenge.
Our manufacturing set-up support includes product files, factory visits, and QA documentation that streamlines the transition to volume production.
Manufacturing Factory Selection
Choosing where and how to manufacture your product is critical to quality, meeting timelines, and maintaining low production costs. During product development, we identify the right factory for your product and your supply strategy objectives. We know how to engage
oversea suppliers during low-volume pre-production unit builds and testing. We also coordinate factory communication, during the production stage.
