Benefits of outsourced cable assembly

VISIT NICAB AT STAND 60 — Electronic Component Show 2024

Nicab explains how its subcontract cable assembly services helped lighting console specialist, Chamsys, manage an influx of large orders on tight deadlines.

Chamsys’ lighting consoles can be found around the world and are favoured by many leading stage lighting professionals. As the company’s products became more popular, larger ‘out of the blue’ orders followed with tight delivery times.

Subcontracting labour- intensive cable assembly to Nicab: freed up existing staff; provided Chamsys with the confidence to take on larger orders
with shorter lead-times; and controlled its costs. An added benefit was avoiding tooling costs, making re-designs easier and less expensive. Nicab’s range of tools means prototyping can be done with no investment in tools which may never be used after prototyping.

It is normal for any manufacturer to worry about letting go of an aspect of production but there are simple ways to remove any fear.

As a professional company, Nicab works hard to make sure customers’ concerns are addressed by practical measures. For all new assemblies, pre-production samples are provided to ensure the assembly is made correctly.

The most common concern Nicab encounters is the worry that assemblies will be delivered late. This is why the company is clear and honest about lead times and works tirelessly to ensure assemblies are delivered to the agreed lead time.

Nicab believes the new economy means we all must work harder and deliver on promises. Fairness and honesty come first.
