CCE Announces "Design-2-Doorstep" Services

Farmington Hills, Michigan – Oct 1, 2008 - CCE announces a new service that leverages the benefits of co-located India-based design and manufacturing services, to deliver quality and cost savings to our North American and European clients. This highly integrated design and manufacturing supply chain prevents costly mistakes from today’s disconnect between in-house design and engineering departments, and offshore-based manufacturing suppliers. Studies have shown that these problems can eat away more than 50% of the intended savings, with a corresponding delay in critical time-to-market. With CCE managing the entire offshore relationships, offshore sourcing management is simplified, providing significant risk mitigation for the customer.

Design to Doorstep (D2D) services are ideal for small to medium sized businesses (SMBs) producing higher value, lower volume parts. D2D delivers maximum benefits with parts that are earmarked for redesign, optimization, value engineering, re-positioning or that undergo frequent change. CCE engineers take responsibility of the design changes of the parts, and CCE’s manufacturing services managers select and manage an offshore-based manufacturing supply chain to produce the parts with desired quality and cost. CCE’s US-based services managers work with CCE’s offshore team to facilitate logistics and all customer interactions.

CCE manages the product realization process from design to delivered part at a low fixed cost per unit. CCE achieves this by working with a network of qualified, assessed, and validated India-based suppliers, using a flexible and quality-centered system of unparalleled engineering support, proprietary technology tools, and 100% part management.

"Over the last ten years we have increasingly seen our clients demand higher quality and lower prices in the product development and manufacturing processes. Realizing the impact design has on manufacturing, especially on product quality and costs, CCE has holistically combined these into a seamless service." Says CCE’s VP of Sales & Marketing, Mr. Vinay Wagle. "Leveraging our India-based engineers’ proximity to world-class manufacturing supply base allows us to offer significant cost-savings to our clients. Our sourcing managers reduce the risk associated with managing an offshore supply chain from ten time zones away." adds Vinay.
