We're Here to Support
JCI manufacturing support services include Design For Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA), vendor sourcing, product cost reduction, and engineering support through production launch.
Design For Manufacturing and Assembly
Design for manufacturing and assembly (DFMA) has become an integral part of our design process. Our consultants have in-depth experience with the manufacturing processes used for the commercialization of orthopedic implant and instruments. We know the capabilities, strengths, weaknesses, and cost implications for each, and we can apply engineering economics to determine the most cost-effective processes.
Vendor Sourcing and Selection
JCI consultants can assist clients with vendor sourcing and selection for components, subassemblies, and complete products. Our consultants will study the requirements for each product and determine the best fit based on likely processes, materials, costs, and manufacturing locations. Whether you have a preferred vendor and would like help transferring a design or require a new manufacturer or manufacturing processes, we can make it happen.
Cost Reduction
The cost reduction is an on-going process. Obtaining savings through:
- lower cost manufacturing processes and materials
- combining multiple parts into one
- consolidating inventory through utilization of a common component
- Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA)
- commonizing parts across product lines
- packaging efficiency
- sourcing to lower cost providers
Let us evaluate your cost savings opportunities and partner with you to realize additional value from your products. See how we can reduce your costs.
