The
time, expense and personnel required to issue dozens of purchase orders,
track and stock all the individual components, and manage numerous
manufacturers, can be virtually eliminated through Kitting with D.B.
Roberts.
The D.B. Roberts Company offers an ISO
9001:2000 certified kitting center that can assemble fully packaged kits for
delivery to your facility, reducing material costs that include
stockouts, component obsolescence and inventory carrying costs.
We work closely with your engineers and
supply managers to develop the bill of materials (BOM). A
statement of work (SOW), is developed detailing the customer's
specifications required on the kit. D.B. Roberts handles all component
alteration, customer packaging, inspection, and special labeling.
We hold completed kits on your shelf so
you don't have to. Delivery is typically handled JIT to your
production floor as single line items, packaged to your specifications,
to stream line manufacturing and improve quality.
