Key Questions to Ask When Outsourcing Assembly Work
Outsourcing assembly work is more than just delegating a task—it’s about finding a partner who can seamlessly integrate with your operations and enhance the quality, efficiency, and scalability of your production process. Asking the right questions is critical to ensure alignment with your goals and the successful execution of your projects. Below are key considerations to guide your decision.
Why These Questions Matter
Choosing the wrong assembly partner can lead to production delays, compromised quality, and additional costs. Asking the right questions helps you identify a provider’s strengths, limitations, and ability to deliver on your expectations. This proactive approach ensures you select a partner who can meet your specific needs while maintaining high standards.
Core Questions to Consider
1. What are the provider’s core assembly capabilities?
Not all assembly providers offer the same range of services. It’s crucial to understand whether the provider has expertise in areas such as mechanical assembly, sub-assembly, or product kitting.
Providers like PPS offer comprehensive assembly services, including specialized solutions customized to diverse industries.
2. Are they ISO certified?
Certification, such as ISO9001:2015, is a hallmark of a provider committed to quality and regulatory compliance. This ensures that your products are assembled with precision and meet industry standards.
PPS follows strict quality policies as part of our ISO9001:2015 certification, focusing on diverse employee training, cross-training, and top-down involvement in meeting all quality standards and goals.
3. What quality control processes are in place?
High-quality assembly depends on rigorous quality control measures. Ask about the provider’s inspection protocols, defect tracking, and corrective action processes to ensure consistency and reliability in the final product.
PPS excels in utilizing the latest technological advancements including automated machinery, combined with a skilled and trained workforce. Detailed work processes are developed for every customer, and all materials are tracked with real-time inventory control with a sophisticated Enterprise Resource Management (ERP) system.
4. Can they handle specialized assembly, such as mechanical or medical?
If your project involves unique requirements, such as medical device assembly or complex mechanical components, it’s important to confirm the provider has experience with such specialized processes.
PPS offers extensive experience in packaging, kitting and assembly of healthcare items as well as an FDA-certified clean room where we produce face masks, and perform various healthcare kitting and assembly services.
5. Do they have a proven track record with clients?
A provider’s reputation and portfolio can offer insights into their ability to deliver. Request case studies, testimonials, or references from past clients to gauge their performance and reliability.
With more than 80 years in business, and customers in the top Fortune 500 companies, PPS offers OEM-oriented solutions to meet various production and budgetary requirements.
6. How do they handle scalability and flexibility?
Whether you’re scaling up for a product launch or adapting to seasonal demand, it’s vital to know if the provider can adjust their operations to match your business needs.
PPS operates out of two state-of-the-art facilities in Illinois, designed for safe and efficient handling of raw materials and finished goods. With more than 15 shipping & receiving docks, we offer the capacity to meet specific workstation requirements with room to grow.
7. What is their communication and transparency policy?
Open communication is crucial in outsourcing relationships. Understand how the provider keeps clients updated on progress, addresses issues, and collaborates on changes to the project scope.
PPS offers small business support with big company quality and delivery. We provide transparent communication and quick responsiveness to our customers’ needs.
