Rapid Large-Scale Outsourcing
Challenges
For nearly a decade, throughout the expansion and evolution of its industries, Stanadyne has recognized AMFAS as a partner in innovation. When the company realized adapting to changing automotive technology requirements meant completely reorganizing its product lines, Stanadyne trusted AMFAS to help it free up internal facilities space by functioning as an extension of its own operations.
Consequently, AMFAS assumed responsibility for producing Stanadyne’s CNC and powdered metal products. However, Stanadyne’s goal was ambitious — to have all products in the line developed, sampled, qualified, and production-ready in just 12 months.
How AMFAS Helped
Using Stanadyne’s priorities as a guiding principle, AMFAS designed a plan that incorporated five different manufacturing processes into Stanadyne’s manufacturing network; each location catering to a specific process requirement or technique.
AMFAS managed the details of the transfer, developing 60+ CNC and powdered metal parts as well as all corresponding Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) documentation. Thanks to parallel workflows, AMFAS completed this massive project well within the 12-month timeframe.
Results and Future Plans
AMFAS helped Stanadyne become more agile and adaptable by providing strong manufacturing support and detailed verification documentation.
Key results:
- Enabled Stanadyne to focus on its mission: pushing fuel technology into the future.
- Saved 20% of production costs compared to making CNC and powdered metals in-house.
- Freed up valuable internal workspace across Stanadyne facilities.
