Low-Volume Manufacturing
From 10 to 100,000 units, low volume manufacturing is the best pathway to move from prototype to production smoothly. WayKen provides on-demand low volume production with the ability to quickly deliver custom parts.
What Is Low-Volume Manufacturing?
Low-volume manufacturing is a rapid production method that precedes full-scale production, ranging from 10 to 100,000 units. It does not require investment in expensive production tools, but reduces risk, allows design flexibility, shortens time-to-market, and creates opportunities for production cost savings. Additionally, it provides agility and quick turnaround for on-demand manufacturing in the supply chain.
Effective and Efficient Low Volume Production & Manufacturing
As product lifecycle shrink and new product development cycles shorten, flexible innovation and time-to-market remain critical. To meet customization and diversity demands, production lines gravitate towards low-volume manufacturing.
Advantages Of Low Volume Manufacturing
More flexible design iterations
Creating low volume manufacturing allows for more efficient verification of design, engineering and manufacturability.Short turnaround times and low costs
Tooling is cost-effective for low volume manufacturers to handle orders quickly and flexibly, with no minimum order quantities.
Closing the gap to production
Low volume trial runs bridge the gap between prototype and production, timely identifying and resolving any issues before moving to mass production.
Reduced time to market faster
Low volume manufacturing services optimize the link between production to supply chain and consumer, providing rapid time-to-market for new products.
