Supply-Chain Resilience

Global surveys conducted after the pandemic make one point clear: volatility is now the baseline, not the exception. 2024 supply-chain analysis found that more than 70 percent of manufacturers experienced “severe or very severe” disruption during 2020-23 and have since prioritized geographic diversification and near-sourcing as a risk-mitigation strategy.EY US McKinsey’s most recent survey of operations executives echoes that conclusion, noting that 44 percent of firms already have, or will soon have, dual- or multi-sourcing strategies that shorten supply lines and cut order-to-delivery time by up to 60 percent.McKinsey & Company

Reshoring critical plastic components eliminates many of the variables that make extended supply chains brittle—port congestion, container shortages, geopolitical flashpoints, and currency swings. Bringing work back inside North America converts 30- to 90-day ocean voyages into two- to five-day ground deliveries, allowing manufacturers to run leaner inventories, react faster to demand shifts, and strengthen customer service promises that depend on dependable lead-times.

Modern Molding has the capacity, the Engineering know how and on time delivery performance to reshore your projects, and de-risk your supply chain.  Reach out to Sales@ModernMolding.com to get more information.

3-D Scanning

We are excited to announce that we have added 3-d scanning capability to our Meteorology tool chest. In addition to our touch CMM, and Multi sensor VMM, we have recently added the ability to 3-d scan.  Whether for reverse engineering your parts, validating steel geometry on transfer tools, or helping create a better understanding of your part after molding, 3-d scanning as proven to be a very worthwhile investment for our team.  Not only does it visually communicate a significant amount of data very quickly, but it also improves our time to data, collection.  Further, with the entire part characterized via a 3-d Scan, changing the type of measurement, or the location of the measurement is significantly faster, improving our ability to provide critical data to our customers.
