Speed without Sacrifice: How Liberty Precision Delivers Expedited Lead Times
Many of our customers in critical industries like aerospace, defense, and medical require fast turnaround rates for their parts. Aerospace and defense manufacturers often face mission-critical timelines, while medical OEMs may need swift turnarounds for life-saving devices.
At Liberty Precision, we understand the importance of meeting these urgent needs. That’s why expedited lead times are a fundamental part of our service offering. Every quote we provide includes options for expedited production, empowering our customers to prioritize speed without compromising quality when it matters most.
Here’s a closer look at how the Liberty Precision team consistently delivers on expedited timelines without compromising quality or precision.
How Liberty Precision Achieves Expedited Lead Times
Advanced Machinery
Liberty’s investment in cutting-edge equipment plays a significant role in our ability to meet tight deadlines. With a diverse range of machines designed for CNC Turning, CNC Swiss machining, and CNC vertical machining, our team has the flexibility to handle a variety of customer demands, from simple precision-turned components to complex aerospace parts.
Many of our machines can produce complete parts in a single operation, eliminating delays associated with multiple machining processes. This single-operation approach minimizes batch-and-queue bottlenecks common in other manufacturing facilities and allows us to deliver complex machined parts with greater speed and efficiency.
Highly Skilled Teams
Expedited production demands more than advanced equipment—it requires expertise. At Liberty Precision, we continuously invest in our people, helping them grow their skills to deliver exceptional results for our customers.
For example, we invested in training multiple CAM engineers and currently have seven ESPRIT-trained programmers. This expertise distributed across multiple team members eliminates bottlenecks common in shops that rely on a single programmer. If one of our programmers is unavailable on any given day, another can swiftly step up and conquer any complex project.
Strong Relationships with Outside Vendors
Many of the parts we produce require additional processes like heat treating, plating, or grinding. Our tight-knit partnerships with outside service providers allow us to secure faster turnarounds on these services.
Cutting-Edge Software
Liberty Precision’s suite of advanced software solutions that enable expedited production include:
Paperless Parts: Our quoting software includes a number of features that allow us to include expedited lead times in every quote. One notable example is its ability to quote material lead times with exceptional accuracy, allowing us to avoid delays caused by material procurement.
ESPRIT CAM Software: Facilitates rapid programming of even the most complex parts.
High QA: This software accelerates the creation of all quality assurance documents, ensuring quality checks don’t delay production.
KEYENCE inspection software: Advanced optical comparators enable faster, more precise inspections, outperforming traditional manual methods.
Expedited Lead Times in NPI
The Liberty Precision team thrives on agility, particularly when supporting customers’ New Production Introduction (NPI) needs. We are dedicated to reducing lead times, and we’ve successfully shortened our NPI timelines, taking what used to be 30 days and cutting it down to 10 days. Recently, our team completed an NPI project, going from purchase order to shipping the parts in just 5 days! Our speed ensures we can quickly adapt to design changes, helping our customers refine their parts without delays.
