Some of our key service offerings with regard to manufacturing support are highlighted below:

Sourcing

Productive manufacturing begins with streamlined sourcing and procurement. We help with supplier assessment and development to optimize supply chain quality and responsiveness. When working with international suppliers, NGL provides proven multi-mode transportation strategies for the efficient flow of product.

Vendor Managed Inventory

NGL works with vendors to set up VMI programs in distribution centers that allow manufacturers to buy materials on consignment and pay only for what they use each month. This allows you to redirect capital previously allocated to inventory.

Kitting

This process simplifies parts handling by configuring individual high-activity parts into consolidated user packages prior to final delivery.

Sequencing

Nothing is more costly than shutting down an assembly line because you lack production-ready materials. Our process is designed to sequence items for the assembly line, so the right part arrives in the right order at the right time – according to your production schedule.

Sub-Assembly

By pre-assembling parts and components, we reduce the number of assembly steps required at the factory, to simplify your manufacturing process and reduce costs.

Just-In-Time Delivery

Minimizing the inventory of parts and supplies on a factory’s floor can realize significant bottom-line results. We help you design the integrated systems necessary to move materials, within strict time parameters, from points of procurement directly to your production line.
