| PartTec, Ltd., a leader in outsource manufacturing for scientific laboratories, serves its customers with Design for Manufacturability, Concurrent Engineering and Quality Improvement and Control methods. These methods give researchers high precision tools which are continuously improved in function and cost throughout the design, manufacturing, and quality control processes. PartTec is committed to meeting the specific needs of its partners. | ||

| PartTec's professionals understand these principles and apply them throughout the product design, prototyping and process design phases. Recommendations are made to scientists and technicians as a part of PartTec's Open Partnering business model. The outcomes are 1) a prototype that satisfies the customer and 2) manufactured units that meet or exceed all the customer's performance and cost goals. | ||
Concurrent Engineering This method requires multi-department cooperation throughout the product life cycle, even in the design phase, in order to create better and less expensive products at a faster rate than traditional methods. This method, supported by PartTec's Executive Management, requires insourcing innovations, improvements and controls from all viewpoints; PartTec's adminstrative, marketing and technical departments as well as the customer's own technical and administrative departments. The shared focus is to always satisfy the customer by exceeding expecations in all aspects of the product lifecycle. |

Quality Improvement and Control Quality Improvement and Control are methods that are integrated into PartTec's core processes. All internal departments and customer departments are solicited constantly to improve product performance, cost, speed of delivery, reliability and overall satisfaction to the customer. This set of processes are proactive and anticipate all the processes of design, prototyping, and manufacturing while also anticipating issues of failures, re-work, in-situ repair and maintenance, worker safety and worker training. One of PartTec's fundamental policies is that every major project will be supported by a Quality Circle, allowing all PartTec's staff unimpeded access to express their thoughts and concerns regarding that project. PartTec's procedures are documented for every project with a complete Quality Control Manual prior to start of work and every delivered product or service is accompanied by a completed Conformance Document. |
