Kitting and Assembly
What is Kitting and Assembly?
Kitting refers to the process of creating “kits,” or packages, that contain all the parts needed for a specific manufacturing project under one item number and single bill of materials. Kitting is customized to the customers’ requirements to ensure all the necessary components arrive in a coordinated and administratively efficient effort reducing the risk of potential delays while maximizing the just-in-time concept of inventory management. Assembly services is the value-add proposition of combining multiple engineered components into a single working component through the outsourcing of labor, overhead, and technical expertise. When effectively deployed, both kitting and assembly services will yield for the customer reduced lead time, improved on-time delivery, better utilization of resources, and a lower fixed cost structure.
