For yet another great year, by providing ISO 9001:2015 certified services covering inspection, assembly, kitting and packaging operations, CCS exceeded high quality expectations and delivered on time to help partners better serve their customers.
With the total quantity of riveted, taped and assembled parts reaching 3.5 Million, the project is at the point of a decade long successful partnership after quality problems lead to the decision to turn, from an international vendor, to CCS as a domestic supplier.
A long time customer received a unique opportunity to sell their product on a national stage. It required CCS to increase the manual assembly capacity for the lures by over 1000%, to over 70,000 a week, which was accomplished as promised.
Continuous improvement measures to optimize the performance of CCS visual inspection procedures continue to bare fruit. They are helping the team capture defects in customer products and greatly outperform industry expectations for such processes.
With the capacity to handle a variety of different resistance spot welding needs, the assembly team has used four different welders to insure completion of jobs as promised for this heavy machine manufacturer.
A small dimensional out-of-tolerance issue making assembly impossible threatened to halt production at a OEM manufacturer. A quick fix and delivery got parts back into the pipeline and inventory levels back to normal.
A containment team responded quickly to a customer Controlled Shipping containment situation for an OEM manufacturer to avoid production delays. The customer designed and implemented corrective action plans that were then inspected for validation by the same team.
Specified production processes are not always capable of achieving the desired result. As a cost effective solution, a permanent 100% visual sort step, combined with final packaging, was implemented to achieve the required quality level.
In order to minimize handling and shipping costs, direct shipments from the previous step in the supply chain were coupled with the same directly to the end customer after completion of final inspection and packaging. This eliminated two unnecessary shipments in the routing to the final end user of the customer's product.
Responding to a call for immediate help, a team assembled floor displays with built-in monitors and packaged them for shipment. Thousand of kits were also put together for distribution for a national marketing campaign.
A manufacturer expands their service offerings by outsourcing to CCS the assembly of complete subassemblies requested by their customer. This added to the large variety of industrial components assembled over the years by hand, with the use of hand tools, presses, riveters and 3D printed jigs and fixtures.
A heavy equipment manufacturer needed parts packaged differently for a variety of distribution needs both to manufacturing and service locations. The packaging team at CCS stepped in to provide the service to convert bulk shipments to the different requirements.
