We’ve talked in the past about how long-term manufacturing contracts benefit customers in the right circumstances. And among long-term contracts, certain scenarios will offer even more savings. One of the most notable is working with us on a “family of parts,” a set of similar parts that we can machine at significantly reduced pricing.

If you’re looking for manufacturing partners who can help you meet FAR requirements, I hope you’ll consider Focused on Machining for CNC machining services. We have a reputation for machining complex parts fast and at an incredibly high quality level

Focused on Machining offers lights-out machining as part of our CNC production machining services. These capabilities allow us to run orders around the clock so we can provide faster lead times, lower costs, and better flexibility. 

When you order repeat parts from a CNC machine shop, you can’t be fully confident the parts will be consistent from one order to the next until you understand the shop’s approach to documentation. At Focused on Machining, we have a fully digitized solution that allows us to offer unbeatable consistency and efficiency when it comes to repeat orders. Like many of our other solutions to manufacturing challenges, it all ties back to our ERP system.

Building complex assemblies requires more than having the right capabilities and expertise on the precision machine shop floor. It’s just as important to have the right software working behind the scenes to facilitate the process. 

Running a precision machine shop during an industry-wide labor shortage, a global pandemic, unprecedented supply chain disruptions, and some of the most contentious presidential election cycles in history has certainly been one of the most interesting challenges of my life.
