Low-volume production
Low-volume production runs of cable assemblies and wire harnesses — tens to low thousands. Pilot builds and repeat batches, with feasibility confirmed per project. Small runs go through the same first-article approval as any other; testing and records are agreed in the quotation.
What this service covers
Typical working ranges. Outside them? Send the drawing anyway — we check it with the supplier and tell you what is possible.
| Run size | Tens to low thousands per run, with feasibility confirmed per project |
| Pilot build | The first batch of a run, checked before any repeat order — it follows first-article sign-off |
| Repeat batch | The approved article and revision, ordered again when you need it |
| Batch to batch | Same drawing revision and specified parts every batch; substitutions only by written approval |
| Reorders | Quoted against the approved revision — as single batches, scheduled repeats or a blanket order |
| Pricing | Setup, fixtures and tooling spread across the run, so quantity shapes the unit price |
| Lot records | What each batch ships with is agreed in the quotation |
How low-volume production runs here
Size the run
We look at the quantity and how it splits into a pilot and repeat batches.
Pilot build
The first batch is built and checked, and you approve it before repeats.
Repeat batches
Each one built to the same approved revision.
Reorders
Ask for the next batch; any change goes through a written revision first.
Common questions
What counts as low-volume here?
Tens to low thousands of assemblies, as a pilot build or repeat batches. Whether a given quantity is workable is confirmed per project, not promised in advance.
Can a pilot build turn into repeat batches?
It can. Once you approve the pilot, later batches are quoted and built to the same revision, and any change is confirmed in writing first.
Why does the unit price depend on quantity?
Setup, fixtures and tooling are shared across the run, so a larger run spreads them over more pieces. The quotation states the quantity it is priced at.
