A new manufacturing paradigm based on the so-called ‘flexible factory’, is now needed to boost UK manufacturing efficiency and provide the agility required to move away from a narrow mass production model to one that enables rapid change from one high-value production run to the next. Due to its extensive experience in working with trusted suppliers in the Far East, Blue Diamond Technologies, now part of TRITEC Performance Solutions, can offer custom parts in low minimum quantities (500 pieces) without the need for high minimum orders that run into thousands of pieces. This allows customers to source a custom part with very little risk and minimum cost. “There are many ways we can help our customers get the best outcome from sourcing low cost custom parts. Using our services removes many of the problems and risks associated with sourcing directly from suppliers in the Far East.” explains Mike Doel, Business Development Manager, Blue Diamond Technologies.
