SinoScan solved capacity challenges during a growth period
Outsourcing production became part of the solution, and SinoScan became the external manufacturer of the turbine unit.
A better product, stable delivery, and lean production
Fasterholt, a leading manufacturer of irrigation machines in the market, faced capacity challenges and recruitment issues during a period of intense growth. Their goal was to optimize the production process and maximize the utilization of their core competencies.

Outcome
Fasterholt improved production capacity through their lean project by outsourcing pump unit production to SinoScan. This strategic move solved capacity challenges and met increased demand. The collaboration with SinoScan ensured that high-quality standards were maintained while production was streamlined as part of the lean strategy.
The successful combination of increased capacity and streamlined production demonstrates the value of Fasterholt’s lean project, which integrates outsourcing to improve processes and reduce costs.
From Bottleneck to Optimized Production
A fresh start provided the opportunity to optimize both the production process and the product.
By outsourcing their pump unit, it became possible to improve both design and production, allowing Fasterholt to deliver units of the high quality they are known for.
Quality control is a crucial part of the production and assembly of the pump unit. The consistent high quality is ensured by inspecting all components for defects and tolerances before they are assembled and shipped to Fasterholt.
This gives Fasterholt the assurance that the units they install in their irrigation machines always meet their standards, thereby minimizing defects and reducing returns.
Focus on quality
From design to production setup, it has been crucial that the impellers, cast components, and assembly meet Fasterholt’s quality standards.
Prototypes and testing were an essential part of the development process, where various design options were tested and evaluated to find the optimal design and production method for the purpose.
The pump must operate reliably for many years, so it has been crucial in the development process that all components are designed to withstand the loads they will encounter throughout their lifespan.
“
SinoScans’ combination of solid product development expertise and a well-established sourcing and assembly setup has been ideal for us.
We approached SinoScan with a design that still required significant product development. SinoScan has safely guided us through the development of a finished product, and on top of that, they have been able to handle component sourcing and product assembly.
I highly recommend SinoScan to anyone looking for a development partner, a manufacturing partner, or both.
