Kitting, Re-Manufacturing and Distribution Management

Wednesday, August 25th, 2010

Most of you know Technology Components, Zak & Associates and Jadcor, now all part of Technology Components as a Fastener supplier. There are many services we offer to our customers everyday. Here are some simple descriptives of all we do for our customers.

  • Kitting
  • - This is the process of preparing an order for shipment. Kitting can involve light assembly, or the picking and packing of order components and collateral materials 
  • into a “kit,” or a complete set of items ready to ship.
  • Re-Manufacturing
  • - There is a fine line between repetitive re-manufacturing without loss of identity and product overhaul. The critical difference is that re-manufacturing 
  • is a complete process and the final product has a like-new appearance 
  • Distribution Management

     - Shipment of finished products to selected single or multiple destinations.
