Right Size Your Supply Chain Suppliers

Published On: October 3rd, 2024|Categories: Blog|

Purchasing and Engineering professionals perceive safety in numbers. Regardless of their specific company needs, often they buy the tried and true “bigger” instead of something smaller or newer. We have all perceived it, being in a large group is safer than being in a small group.

PlastiCert has numerous customers that have small and medium sized volumes, that come to us from larger injection molders after trying the “bigger is better” philosophy and it backfired on them.

All larger molders deal in high volume molding runs. Hundreds of thousands into millions of parts in an order. Some of those molders CLAIM they can do your tens of thousands or even thousand piece orders.

Of course, they likely can, but you as a customer, are going to pay the price, both directly and indirectly, for their “trying” to accommodate you.

You will pay more because of the disruptive (in their eyes) set-up and tear down. Because longer running parts mean fewer set-ups and shutdowns being done. Stopping the injection press for YOUR parts is more costly for them.

You will also pay more indirectly, as their other customers’ longer production runs mean few windows for your product to be made and your lead times and deliveries will suffer.

So, you will end up paying more AND have reduced flexibility for that supposed “more secure” feeling.

Sourcing with a molder like PlastiCert, that is dedicated to offering small and medium volume OEMs a better solution is a smarter bet.
