On-Demand Manufacturing
August 1, 2016
Kentucky-based MakeTime is a cloud-based platform that matches a pre-qualified network of nationwide suppliers that have excess machine capacity to manufacturers.
"Lead-time is shrinking. For U.S. manufacturers and suppliers to compete, cost cutting, improved efficiency and the dictates of traditional lean manufacturing are not enough," said a company spokesperson. "Time - and the way it passes across the entire production cycle, not just during set-up and machining - must form the basis of any 21st century lean metric. The time it takes a manufacturer to meet unanticipated demand via normal processes must get shorter."
MakeTime can shorten this next generation lean metric for both manufacturers and suppliers with data-driven research into cost, price, available machine capacity and more. "From supplier vetting and RFQ to inspection and delivery, MakeTime streamlines and simplifies the manufacturing process for the entire supply chain, making local, on-demand manufacturing across the United States a reality that is fast, bonded and reliable," said the spokesperson.
