Kitting and Assembly Services for Manufacturers

In today’s manufacturing climate it is advantageous to find ways of reducing production costs while increasing productivity and efficiency. This process can prove to be overwhelming in-house, requiring a significant amount of time and effort in both managing and overseeing the process. Outsourcing the kitting and assembly of manufactured parts and components has proven to make the process easier while reducing costs and increasing efficiency as well as raising quality control of the products.

Kitting and assembly services are a time-saving cost effective method that outsource these tasks with a third-party company to handle the process of gathering individual components, packaging them together as a "kit," and assembling them into a finished product, instead of doing the work in-house. This enables you to free up work to focus on core tasks while delegating the work to a dedicated experienced team of professionals.

What is Kitting and Assembly?

While the term kitting and assembly are used together, they are actually two different processes. 

Kitting:
Involves individual components needed for a product that are collected and pre-packaged into a single unit, ready for assembly and shipping to the assembly location. This may include a designated way to orient and package parts along with instructions or assembly instructions in each unit.

 Assembly:
Involves the assembly of individual parts all the way up to a completed assembled component which is then shipped to its next step in the manufacturing process.
