Quick and Reliable Solution: A Case Study in Best Practices

In our industry, time is often of the essence. Being able to quickly develop solutions and meet customer needs is something we at Medicalplast MD are proud of and that we strive to achieve. In this blog post, we will show how we helped a customer with their challenges in manufacturing a printed circuit board (PCB) case in just 25 days. This is the latest example of a quick, reliable, and cost-effective solution that exceeded the customer's expectations. We helped the customer in a way that did not leave them dependent on slow-responding suppliers and thus did not have to wait for other suppliers who could not provide the required solution as quickly.

Challenge and Start (Day 1)

A customer approached us after being recommended by another customer, with challenges related to the responsiveness of their supplier for the repair of existing tools and the manufacturing of PCB cases. The PCB had been updated, which required urgent changes to the case. In addition, a problem had arisen with closing the case when the PCB was inserted.

Initial Analysis of Existing Tools (Day 2)

We received the customer's existing tools and data used to manufacture the case. At a meeting with the customer, we proposed manufacturing the case from a self-extinguishing material that would meet the product specifications.

Detailed Analysis (Day 3)

Our expert team carefully examined the existing case and PCB. We found that the problem with closing could be solved by making a simple change to the tool, which would maintain the high quality of the product.

3D Modeling (Day 7)

In seven days, we created an accurate 3D model of the new insert in the tool based on the previous 3D model of the PCB. Speed and accuracy were key in this process.

Material Selection (Day 10)

The customer's quick decision was the next milestone in the process. They decided to manufacture the products from both materials - standard and self-extinguishing.

Upgrades and Manufacturing (Day 14)

On day 14, we carried out the necessary upgrades to the tool for improved closure of the case and simultaneously manufactured the new insert. This quick response allowed the customer to avoid wasting valuable time.

Testing and Quality Assurance (Days 15-16)

Thorough testing of samples took place from day 15 to 16, ensuring the flawlessness and usability of the new product. This quick action allowed the customer to obtain a flawless product.

Approval and Order (Days 17-18)

The customer was satisfied with the samples and immediately ordered the first series of cases, both from standard and self-extinguishing material.

Technical Documentation (Day 19)

We collected and archived all technical documentation in just 19 days, along with documentation on tool repairs and new inserts.

Production and Preparation for Delivery (Days 21-23)

On day 21, we injection-molded the first series of cases from standard material, followed by the first series of cases from self-extinguishing material. We carefully packaged both series and prepared measurement reports. The products were ready for transport on day 23.

Delivery and Innovation (Day 25)

In just 25 days from the start of the challenge, we delivered the ordered cases. In addition, we presented the customer with the option of laser engraving/printing on the case, which replaced the previous tampoprint process.
