Kitting & Packaging
Combining components into a single kit or package becomes painful, costly, and time consuming when dealing with large quantities of items or a high volume of products, requiring not only time, materials, management, and operational efforts, but also human resources. Furthermore, part shortages, labor constraints, shipment delays, and long lead times have kept Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) up all night.
What is the ultimate solution? The answer, which has become trendy and efficient, is OUTSOURCING.
Outsourcing kitting and packaging to a 3rd-party logistics company (3PL) will allow you to focus on your core competencies while increasing customer satisfaction and sales growth.
Rather than an OEM, ordering specific individual spare parts such as pistons or rings, you can choose to create a kit that is typically under one SKU. At NewStream Enterprises, LLC our kitting services simplify your manufacturing process, allow your employees to implement them into their product build, and reduce pick times.
