Kitting & Assembly
Kitting products and other components of an assembly into a single package.
General details
Kitting and assembly is a service where fasteners and other components of an assembly are packed into a single package. It is used to simplify handling on the line and to reduce the number of part numbers issued.
Process
The Seller collects the required parts, checks them against a bill of materials, and packs them together. Assembly of finished parts can also be carried out before packing.
Materials handled
This service applies to fasteners in steel, stainless steel and aluminium, along with other components such as washers, nuts and seals. It is often used for mixed-material assemblies.
Capacity
Ask about the number of components in a kit, the pack size, and the labelling format. Ask about the lead time for new kits and the process for changes.

Quality control
This is a general guide to what to ask for, and it is not a statement from any supplier.
Ask for a certificate of conformance for the kit. Check that the kit contents match the bill of materials and that each part is identified.
