Manufacturing · Custom Components

Start with function before choosing the process.

A custom component may be machined, fabricated, molded or produced through another route. SharpSigma begins with the requirement and selects a route accordingly.

The problem

What this solves.

A non-standard component is needed but the production process, complete technical definition or source route is not yet established.

When to call

Call with a drawing, model, sample or functional requirement plus demand, timing and acceptance needs.

How work is verified

The selected route and supplied result are checked against the agreed functional and technical requirement.

Execution

What SharpSigma does.

The work follows the specific requirement—not a generic checklist. Each step produces an output that can be reviewed and verified.

  1. Recover or review the functional definition.
  2. Assess candidate production routes.
  3. Clarify material, quantity and inspection assumptions.
  4. Coordinate supplier and production interfaces.
  5. Control approval and delivered evidence.
Evidence in, evidence out

Inputs and deliverables.

Scope follows the requirement. These are the typical inputs needed to begin and the outputs expected at closure.

Inputs required

Drawing, CAD, sample or functional specification · Demand and timing · Material and environment · Acceptance and documentation needs

Deliverables

Requirement clarification · Process-route recommendation · Quotation and managed production · Inspection or approval evidence · Delivered custom components

Adjacent capability

Understand the interfaces.

Few industrial problems stay inside one discipline. These are the capabilities this work most often connects with.
