Turn a Challenge into a Win
It may appear simple to combine components into a single package or kit. However, when dealing with large quantities of items or a high volume of products, it becomes painful, costly, and time consuming, requiring not only time, materials, management, and operational efforts, but also human resources. As a result, outsourcing kitting and packaging to third-party packaging providers will allow OEMs to focus on their core capabilities while also increasing customer satisfaction and sales growth.
Our dedicated kitting and packaging team of employee-owners are committed to ensuring quality, reliability, and cost-effectiveness for each customer. After switching to single-part packaging with us, in just two weeks, our agricultural OEM customer cut 75% of their backlog orders and quartered their product volume. Through our kitting program, our OEM access equipment customer achieved a perfect error rate and converted 90% of the product category to NewStream.
Transform a Struggle to a Success
Part shortages and shipping delays keep OEMs awake at night, in addition to labor constraints. At NewStream, our skilled assembly-line team uses advanced error-proofing assembly technology to ensure that parts and products are available for your production line or distribution channels.
Our teams are positioned to turn customer issues into revenues because they understand the value of uptime and customer satisfaction. The QLS Sensor Assembly project is a great example of our resilience and flexibility. In this project, we worked with our truck and engine manufacturing client to overcome a part shortage problem that caused a major production shortfall. Within the first three days of the program, our team shipped the first unit. Our assembly crew was producing 600 sensors per day after only 7 weeks, 180 more than the customers had demanded.
