Improved operational efficiencies: Optimizing the molding machine parameters and adding OnCap CTR reduced cycle time by more than 24 percent. That reduced the overall cost of each part by 5 percent, giving the supplier a net savings of more than $65,000.

Additionally, supply chain issues around pigments, stabilizers and additives that are taken out of production may leave you scrambling for formulation alternatives. Larger volumes can alleviate some of the supply chain concerns, so it helps to figure out where you fit in terms of buying power before making the decision to go in-house or outsource. As you consider the pros and cons associated with in-house plastisol production, consider these seven issues to determine what will work best in your situation.
