Strategic Benefits

Manufacturers using UniPunch tooling have competitive advantages.

• Pricing power comes from having lower costs compared to competitors that make similar parts using other methods. 
• Shorter lead times can be the advantage that wins an order.  By choosing UniPunch tooling you can be in production quickly and offer shorter lead times.
• Being faster to market with new designs is especially important in crowded markets where competitors copy each other.  Drawing on the large inventory of tooling that UniPunch maintains can mean you will be in production sooner.  Not only that, these days product life cycles are shorter and design changes are frequent, and with UniPunch tooling you can quickly accommodate design changes.
• Relieving bottlenecks can lead to more sales.  When sales are limited by bottlenecks that limit factory throughput, switching to UniPunch tooling can relieve the bottlenecks caused by slow processes; for example, bottlenecks at turrets or lasers making holes one‑hole‑at‑a‑time.
• Ease of use is a factor.  UniPunch tooling is easy to learn to use so you can keep your more highly skilled personnel free for other jobs. 

In summary, the methods you choose in your factory effect your competitive position.  It is not enough to deliver better products anymore. You have to be able to deliver them when the customer wants them and increasingly that means quickly.
