Customer Key Challenges

Producing consumer-grade stainless steel container assemblies required solving design and manufacturing challenges to ensure leak-proof performance and reliable supply. 

Leak-Proof Functional Performance

Ensuring leak-proof sealing and smooth opening/closing required careful control of container depth, flange height, and assembly tolerances across multiple materials including SS304, ABS, and silicone. 

Delivery Reliability for D2C Inventory

The customer depended on weekly deliveries to maintain inventory for preorder sales. Any production delays could lead to order cancellations, longer lead times, and potential impact on brand credibility. 

1

Requirement Analysis

✔ Defined product requirements focusing on leak-proof functionality, usability, and durability for consumer applications. 

✔ Prepared design specifications and material plans using SS304, ABS plastic, food-grade silicone, MS rivets, and SS screws. 

 

2

Design & Engineering

✔ Applied Design for Manufacturability (DFM) to optimize container depth, flange height, and assembly structure for leak-proof sealing and smooth opening/closing. 

✔ Developed tooling, drawings, and prototypes to validate manufacturability and ensure compatibility across multiple materials. 

 

3

Manufacturing & Quality Assurance

✔ Executed production through cutting, beading, blasting, post-processing, assembly, and inspection to achieve consistent product quality. 

✔ Performed visual inspections and compliance checks aligned with BIS and SEDEX standards to maintain reliability and consumer safety. 

 

4

Delivery & Production Support

✔ Packaged and delivered units through weekly dispatch cycles to support the customer’s preorder-based inventory model. 

✔ Addressed post-processing inconsistencies with corrective actions to maintain product quality and delivery timelines. 

Execution Process

We followed a structured manufacturing workflow to ensure product functionality, leak-proof performance, and reliable weekly deliveries for the consumer product assembly.
