Secondary Value Added Services

A list of CAB Worldwide’s secondary and value added services is so extensive that it rivals their primary services, which include precision machining, design engineering, modeling, and the conversion of fabrications to castings or forgings. An international enterprise, CAB closes the quality gap from the U.S. to overseas, lowering costs with offshore operations and expertise in process improvement. Their U.S. facility provides a central location to set up custom services for clients, including “just-in-time inventory management” from our US warehouses.

Following material testing, CAB Worldwide machines, welds, marks, and cleans all manner of hardware, O-ring seals, rubber gaskets, bushings, nuts, and bolts. Their cell manufacturing, a key component of lean manufacturing, is used to take advantage of the similarity among parts by using standardization and common processing. After components and parts are assembled and properly labeled, CAB applies kitting, reusable packaging, and repackaging services to their just-in-time delivery strategy. Inspections in the U.S. and overseas are conducted in-process and post-production using highly accurate coordinate measuring machines. ISO 9001 and 14000 certified, CAB’s quality management system first defines the quality of a finished product, then measures, analyzes, improves, and controls it to completion using MRP and ERP Systems. Material testing, dimensional inspection, heat treatment documentation and the results of FMEA and PPAP testing are all available to CAB’s customers.

CAB is comfortable with production volumes from short run to large run, all performed to TS 16949, ASTM, ANSI, and ASME Y14.5 standards and monitored by Six Sigma Certified Black Belts. AutoCAD, SolidWorks, and Pro/E formatted files can all be used to guide the manufacturing of components, forgings, flanges, rods, rings, plates, and machinery for the water works, oil and gas, railroad, mining, and construction industries.
