Do not underestimate the flat washer
Flat washers perform many forgotten functions - from seating and load distribution to "taking-up" of clearance holes and protection of surfaces.
There are a number of steel pressings, threaded steel wire forms, nuts, washers and instruction sheet.
Working in partnership with the manufacturer and another subcontractor, Challenge are responsible for effective management of the complete supply chain up to ultimate assembly.
Initially sourcing was from nominated suppliers but the brief is now expanding to cover sourcing, stock control, demand planning and build, such that the manufacturer can concentrate on core competencies and simply pick from automatically replenished stock in returnable bins.
In addition Challenge are now able to take responsibility for control of tooling.
This enables their customers to benefit from the global sourcing expertise available at Challenge.
Likewise the logistics role includes supply to any site required by the customer.
