What are the advantages for using the small batch production?
Controlling Costs
One of the big advantages for using small batch production is being able to control costs. Smaller scale and flexible production is a smart way to control your costs if you’re starting a new product line. If a product needs to be modified or customized, ironing out sources of the defects in products thru test runs and design modifications would be especially costly with products on a mass-production scale. A production line with large industrial robots is difficult to reprogram, adjust and maneuver to manufacture a new product and is also very expensive.
Quick Turnaround Times
Smaller batches take less time to produce. The ability to get a finished product into your customers’ hands quickly will enable them to test it and provide feedback about any specification changes that might be needed. Failure rates become less of an issue since the small batches produced reduce manufacturing risks and are more flexible in meeting customer demand. Small custom contract manufacturers can typically produce a small batch prototype with a turnaround, depending on formulation, availability of raw materials and packaging, in as little as 1– 2 weeks.
New Product Testing With Reduced Waste
With intense competition, fluctuating markets and growing demands for new and improved products, it makes less and less sense to go directly to mass production, especially if you become stuck with thousands of unsold units. Having too much of a particular product can be a liability in itself because long-term storage may become a costly expense. With more consumers seeking out brands that are sustainable, small batch production can help to control the materials being used and reduce a company’s environmental footprint.
Quality Final Product
Small batch formulations allow the product developers the ability to create a successful product formulation and gauge the changes needed to make their small batch manufacturing a success. Small batch analysis and reformulation services for products help eliminate problems and allows for product improvements.
