Kitting

What is Kitting?

Kitting and assembly solutions involve gathering all product components, such as electronic parts and materials, and creating a finished product that is ready for use or sale. Kitting services can include packaging the components into kits that can be used in production lines or to assemble end-user products. 

• Kitting reduces the amount of time it takes to source individual parts since all necessary items are already gathered together in one package.
• It also reduces waste by eliminating extra packaging materials associated with individual item shipments.
• Because all pieces included in the kit have already been pre-selected based on customer requirements, they can be quickly assembled into a complete unit without needing additional quality assurance inspections or tests.

At BENCOR, we offer electronic component kitting services to our customers as part of our comprehensive supply chain management solution. We specialize in providing custom kitting and assembly solutions tailored to meet your specific business needs from small-scale prototyping projects to high-volume orders for mass-production operations. 

How Does the Kitting and Assembly Process Work?

Product kitting and assembly services from BENCOR involve the creation of a completed kit from parts provided by their customers. This process begins with their staff pre-selecting all of the components that are required according to customer specifications. Once these components have been obtained, they are carefully organized into kits to ensure accuracy and efficiency when it comes time for assembly. The kitting process also includes labeling each component correctly and ensuring that all items in the completed kit match what was ordered.

The next step of the kitting and assembly process is the actual assembly of the completed kit, which is done using automated or manual processes depending on customer requirements. During this stage, each component is inspected for quality assurance before being integrated into the finished product. Once this is complete, BENCOR will package each assembled product carefully using custom packaging materials based on customer needs, ensuring that products arrive undamaged during order fulfillment.

Reduce Your Overhead with Outsourced Kitting Services

Outsourcing kitting services is a great way to reduce overhead costs for businesses in many industries. It helps to streamline inventory management and assembly processes, as well as eliminate excess storage costs. By outsourcing kitting services, businesses can save money on resources such as labor, materials, and equipment. Additionally, it reduces the risk of excessive inventory being held in-house that may not be utilized before expiration or obsolescence takes place.

Kitting services also provide cost savings on shipping by consolidating material into one order instead of multiple orders placed from different suppliers. This will save time and money by reducing packaging and delivery costs associated with multiple shipments from different vendors. Furthermore, using an experienced electronics expert like BENCOR ensures quality control throughout the entire process – from product selection to kitting and assembly – so only finished goods are shipped out directly to customers without delay or defect. 

Component Kitting Services

Are your current vendors actively managing your bill of materials, or simply purchasing parts?

Understanding the status of your BOM is an important part of sustaining engineering, and it’s often overlooked by our customers. For example:

• Do you know the lifecycle of your most critical parts?
• When developing a new PCB, are you asking hard questions about long lead-time parts and sole-source components?
• Are you ensuring that your PCB designers work in “cost reduction mode” when revising your current components?

Kitting Saves Money

We are procurement experts. We work closely with our vendors to help you with these difficult tasks. And whenever possible, we employ component kitting services to ensure our most popular items are pre-assembled and ready to ship. The money we save in overhead from component kitting is passed along to you.

We do our best work when you make us part of the design process because, at that critical time, we can help you avoid the pitfalls that many companies find they are in after they have completed the design phase.

Having to redesign a board for any of these reasons is costly, but living with a problem BOM can cost even more!

We can also help you secure “special pricing” on your high-volume parts because we know the “ins and outs” of electronic component procurement.

A popular service that we offer is our Safety Stock program. We can advance purchase parts that are EOL (End-of-Life) or Long Lead-Time and stock them for your project. Another option is to build and stock complete assemblies for your unpredictable product requirements.
