NovaLink can initiate a manufacturing relationship with a floor plan as small as 5,000 square feet. Once the relationship has been established, and proven successful, customers can scale up to 100,000 square feet or more. It also permits larger customers to scale down if the customers’ business experiences a need to reduce overall capacity.

Mexico has made large strides in developing a world class labor market. NovaLink has positioned itself and helped develop a geographical market of labor that is pro-business resulting in lower than normal turnover rates.

NovaLink client’s are not required to enter into any long-term lease obligations or purchase new equipment (if currently owned). Furthermore, the client’s equipment can be shipped to NovaLink’s facilities in stages as production ramps to ensure quality control.

With our proximity to market, short lead times are met with turns from order placement as short as five days.

NovaLink offers a variety of pricing models to accommodate unique client needs. These range from fully loaded hourly rates to a full package model where NovaLink provides the raw materials and equipment.

NovaLink can accommodate your operations within our current facilities, or if you prefer your own facility, assist in site selection, secure all permitting requirements and coordinate this effort with a builder or landlord.  Many of our customers have dedicated suppliers in place, but for those that do not, NovaLink will assist in source materials and provide cost estimates.

Repeated production processing comprised of dedicated production lines that produce the same or similar items, all year round, usually committed to a known production rate. Minimal setup, little changeover. Operation speed adjustable to customer demand.

Allows the use of the “same” production resources for different products. This method of production is capable of creating several items at the same time in a series of production steps. It is important to define minimum order quantity to maintain certain level of efficiency. Once a batch is completed, the equipment, workcell or production line can be entirely switched over to produce the next batch when needed. Batch processing needs to be continued to be efficient.

Assembly or production line where the processing steps may be diverse with a large variation of setups and changeover frequencies. Miscellaneous production items or discordant in design. Seasonal production may require altering line setup and usually changeovers require more time. All line layouts adjustments and utilities relocation are made in house, no third party support required.

Defined production areas (cells) rather than production or assembly lines. Production processes focused on smaller batches/bundles of custom products, can be either made-to-order (MTO) or made-to-stock (MTS). Work Cells usually organized to make a version of the product or performing most of the processing steps altogether. A portion of the process may be performed by automated equipment and selected labor operations executed by multifunctional working cells.

Continuous manufacturing is referred to the production process where the materials are always in a state of motion or constant change. Allows things to be produced efficiently at scale, usually referred as mass production. Food processing or energy production are common examples.
