Kitting and Assembly

Corporate Disk manufactures and assembles many kits for a variety of clients. As each client has different needs, so each kit assembly is unique. Each kit is assembled using a client approved BOM (bill of materials) and kept in inventory against future shipping orders.

The type of kitting used in fulfillment can greatly affect your timeliness, production costs and order processing. There are 3 common forms of kitting: Learn more

Stock (off the Shelf Kits)

Stock kits (sometimes known as off the shelf kits) are assembled from mass produced components and are held in stock. This gives you the lowest unit cost and gives us the quickest order process response time. Reorder points can be established for all kits making the inventory management process simple. Because the assembly is done all at once, the production process is economical and uncomplicated.

Partially Assembled Kit

The partially assembled kit contains mass produced components like the standard kit, but is combined with time-sensitive items on demand such as updated manuals or software.This type of kit gets the best of both worlds; the economics of mass production combined with the efficiency of on demand production. As you can imagine the order process response time is limited to the time it takes to make and assemble the on demand elements.

On-Demand Kit

Here the kit is only assembled when the order is presented. This process is used with time sensitive materials like price sheets and software updates. This form of kitting is most often used with on demand printing where the components are not drawn from inventory, but rather printed as needed.
