Standard and custom-engineered parts attain high-quality marks for a few different reasons. They\u2019re composed of excellent materials, they\u2019re reliably made by trustworthy manufacturers, or they\u2019re customised to a T with a low failure probability.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div>

By themselves, any one of these attributes can significantly decrease manufacturing costs. However, if you leave any of them to chance, your spending can become more exorbitant than you ever imagined.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

What Poor Part Quality Really<\/em> Costs You<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Part quality is integral to the manufacturing process. Taking it for granted can come at the expense of your workflow.<\/p>\n<\/div>

What risks are run by the 60% that don\u2019t<\/em> treat product quality with care?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

One study estimates that just 40%<\/span> of organisations understand the financial ramifications of making part quality a priority.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Have you worked with poorly finished fasteners? What about ones that are too hard or have unfinished threading or misshapen edges that aren\u2019t exactly specified for the equipment they\u2019re meant to flow through? Introducing misaligned parts with delicate equipment can be a short-term disruption with long-term consequences, such as…<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Parts have to run through manufacturing machinery. When low-quality products come into contact with your equipment, they can set back production timelines indefinitely. That lost time costs money (and other things), as well as…<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

What happens when manufacturers don\u2019t deliver what they promised when they promised? It creates a discerned and disappointed public. For example, a malfunctioning front seat belt steel cable caused Volvo to recall more than 2 million cars<\/a>. The incident dinged the distributor\u2019s worldwide profile and probably negatively impacted sales projections.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Consistently investing in high-quality parts can avoid these manufacturing problem areas. Your end product improves,<\/strong>
\nyour output becomes more consistent, and you become a more profitable and credible OEM that buyers can trust.
