Critical Requirements

Pass approval fast

Clear part approval before the ramp schedule slipped.

Hit volume immediately

Deliver 1,500 pieces every two weeks.

Replace overseas supply

Provide a reliable domestic source with predictable lead times.

Overseas supplier delays were shutting production lines down.

A hydraulic parts manufacturer was relying on overseas vendors shipping by boat. Lead times couldn’t support their production schedule, and when parts were late, lines stopped.
They needed a US Swiss machining supplier who could pass part approval fast and scale immediately to 1,500 units every two weeks to keep manufacturing running.

From first quote to approved parts and running lines in three weeks​

Quoted in 36 hours

The full quote came back the next business day. The turnaround was fast enough that the customer questioned whether something had been missed. Nothing had.

Part approval completed

PartsBadger moved through the approval process without delays, giving the customer real updates at every step.

Volume ramped on schedule

Production hit 1,500 units every two weeks on time. A stocking program was set up so critical parts could be pulled from shelf, eliminating future line-down risk.

Swiss machining at production volume, built around their schedule​

The part was machined from 304 stainless steel using Swiss machining, the right process for the geometry, material, and volume requirements involved. A milled feature added complexity that required careful process planning before production started.
 
PartsBadger coordinated part approval, production sequencing, and a custom stocking program to make sure the customer never waited on parts again.
