Through and through (and through) the Product Lifecycle
Tamshell has always been dedicated to building lasting partnerships with our customers, providing reliable, high-quality, burr-free parts across a variety of contract types.
These agreements help in planning and resource allocation, reducing lead times and ensuring timely delivery. We engage in LTAs to foster long-term partnerships with our clients, ensuring consistent supply and stable pricing over extended periods.
The MOQ approach ensures that we can offer competitive pricing while maintaining high-quality standards. To maintain efficiency and cost-effectiveness, we implement MOQs, which help in managing production schedules and inventory levels.
This method reduces waste, optimizes workflow, and enhances overall efficiency. Kanban streamlines inventory management, ensuring that parts are produced and delivered just in time to meet production needs.
This arrangement allows for flexible scheduling and reduces administrative overhead, ensuring that clients receive their parts as needed without frequent reordering. We offer blanket orders for clients who require a steady supply of parts over a specified period.
Our comprehensive approach ensures that every part we produce meets the evolving needs of our clients throughout the product’s lifespan. From initial design and prototyping to full-scale production and end-of-life support, we manage the entire product lifecycle.
