Major, direct impacts on manufacturing costs fall into a few common factors like supply and demand, testing, certifications, or labor. The one that we're going to talk about falls under manufacturing processes— specifically pre-plated projects. Whether pre-plated projects are your thing, or post-plated projects, the order of operations in industrial plating matters and affects your bottom line.

Manufacturers implement various quality-assurance measures to ensure that their smallest components, such as connector pins, meet the required standards of excellence. These measures may include inspections, testing, and audits at various stages of the production process. Additionally, manufacturers may have dedicated operating procedures in place specifically for quality control to ensure customer satisfaction.

At the New Haven Manufacturers Association (NHMA) Annual Meeting during a presentation on Disruptive Technologies by Martin Hudd of ASSA, Jill Mayer, CEO of Bead Industries, came to an understanding. In a nutshell, if manufacturers don't continuously improve their processes and products, they could be left behind when technology inevitably shifts the landscape.
