8020 Principle

I'm not going to wish it on anyone, but I will be right up front laughing when that top customer [then] goes elsewhere.

Corporations don't wobble over a few bucks. They like quality, consistency, stability of prices and prompt service, and to be sure that you understand fully...QUALITY parts/tools that are packaged perfectly.

Have to accept your experience but have seen a couple of large operatiins that jumped through all the hoops but ultimately fell victim to price demands.

.QUALITY parts/tools that are packaged perfectly.

Can you show an example of what you consider packaged perfectly for one of your customers?

No, and if I did, I would ask them to not waist my time.

If a customers prime concern is cost, as I once said to ITW; have someone make it in China.

Actually China or other offshore manufactufers can meet the price point, pack it nice and pretty , and even tie a bow on it. At least if there are no restrictions as to origin or transfer of technology.

Never use old cardboard boxes, wash your hands before packaging in a new box. If the box weighs over 30 lbs., strap it, if over 50 lbs. make a crate using new wood. Always print the PO# on a large label. Always ship BROWN (UPS) and immediately send the tracking# to your customer.

We make precision tooling that is labor intensive and it must meet sub .0002" accuracy. You forgot the most important thing, you'll have to figure that out on your own.

"sub .0002" accuracy."

Well I must say only in America can a 20percenter like me post in a forum...and get a response from a TITAN of industry such as yourself. Pretty heady stuff.

"sub .0002 accuracy and you use new cardboard boxes! Pretty fancy!

And here I was thinking of PMing you a RFQ......

I consider that the minimum effort. Surely there's more to it than that, in order to be called perfect. Can you SHOW what you have done? Just post a shot of the next order going out the door.

And here I was thinking of PMing you a RFQ......

I only have 1 customer and I have only one product. I will have to politely no quote any/all new rfq's from all. I only focus my business on what works for me.

thank you, for considering.

There is nothing to show Mud,

I do insist that the contents of the package do not move within the box. Packaging is very important, and we take it quite seriously.

Absolutely standardparts.

Is that your vise jaws?

There is nothing to show Mud,
.

That I believe.

 

[otrlt]

Is that your vise jaws?

Yes Mud,
My Vise jaws are one of my products (ViseCleats), I have a few more but I lump them all together as workholding tools. There are a few of my products that will never be uploaded to my website mainly for security.

 

[standardparts]

Absolutely standardparts.

Yeah must be somewhat common for a tooling/shop to be sole vendor for a large manufacturer.

Yes standard,
If your quality is very high and continue to improve. You are locked in. You will be buried in work... as long as you live.
