Panova is renowned throughout the industry as a go-to manufacturer of quality small parts required for specialized electronics devices, including our Push Button Switch Seals and related products. As a case in point, a leading brand of smoke detection systems recently contracted our company to produce their critical button extender components.
The client’s challenge was twofold:
- Their previous vendor required 20 weeks to produce a part – the client needed a much quicker turnaround to keep pace with their delivery schedule and volume requirements.
- The previous vendor was also unreliable, often missing deadlines and causing further delays to the production schedule.
Ultimately, a more reliable manufacturer was needed to establish a more dependable supply chain for these crucial products. Panova stepped up to the plate, offering a solution that reduced the production time by 75% while simultaneously improving the consistency of delivery.
The Previous Manufacturing Challenges
The client was previously using an unreliable vendor that took 20 weeks to produce the part. Additionally, they would often miss these delivery deadlines, further stretching production time and throwing the rest of the project out of sync.
The product itself was a custom button extender made from 80-durometer nitrile, ideal for utilizing Panova’s reliable compression molding process.
The Panova Advantage – Delivered On Time and As Ordered
Panova embraces collaborative, customer-focused solutions. We began by having detailed discussions about the issues that the client was facing, including full details about the product and how it integrated into the manufacturing process. As a matter of practice we strive to understand each customer’s unique pain points, how they’re specifically affecting the business, and how we can best help to resolve the issue.
Our process yields superior quality from start to finish. Panova provides exceptional results in the production of First Article Samples. For this customer and in many other cases, we get the product right the first time, eliminating the time and cost required for multiple iterations.
Through our results-driven approach and strategic procurement methods, we were able to reduce production time down to 25% of what it was previously.
