Innovative Solutions for Commodity Specific Manufacturing
IntroductionHow valuable is supplier input when it comes to minimizing design cost, cost effective materials and cost efficient processing for your new product?
Early Supplier Developmental Input (ESDI) is a 2nd set of eyes at the front end of the NPI process that can lead to major producibility and procurement advantages.
Cortec has an ESDI Program that will provide critical risk assessment as it pertains to the manufacturing of your new product. DFX; DFP, DFM & DFT observations on everything from Raw Material, Outside Services, Procured Components, Logistics, Packaging and Shipping.
Real-time consultation on the Quality Output of materials when processed through our manufacturing facility.
By providing input on materials that work best with a specific child prototype or electromechanical parent design, those contributions prevent potential problems during manufacturing. By identifying these issues in advance, you're more likely to experience a smooth product realization process once your new product has been launched.

Using a sheet metal cover as an example, Is it possible that the fasteners you are using could be substituted for a less expensive product or be integrated in our factory at the next level of assembly?
Cost savings pass through to you when suggesting alternative materials or processing ideas that work as effectively but cost much less because they are incorporated into your design from the very start.
ESDI DFM Reporting
Cortec Precision Sheetmetal 2011
ESDI:
1. Instead of using CLS-832-1 Cortec suggested using SP-832-1.
Why?
Pem product technology has advanced and supplier created a new type of
hardware designed specifically for installment into Stainless Steel base
material.
This new Pem product eliminates the need to tack weld the old type of
hardware customarily used resulting in cost savings.
15% per part cost savings include elimination of tack weld, grinding and
additional regraining of exterior surfaces to remove weld discoloration in the
manufacturing Sequence of Events (SOE).
Quality of new product is directly related to how involved your ESDI partner is at the beginning of the NPI process. When consulting Cortec during the development stage, expect to have a product designed with the right materials that conform to drawing specifications.
When products are designed without the contribution of an ESDI partner, there's a possibility requested materials will not work well with the final product. Materials used in the production of your new product could be inconsistent, laborious and very expensive to incorporate or rework.
Cortecs’ ESDI solution is to provide an onsite resource and be an adjunct member of your Engineering team.
