ABC operated on a 5-acre parcel located near the northeast corner of the Sarasota-Bradenton airport. In 1957, a small machine shop called Visioneering opened its factory in Tallevast. In May 1961, Visioneering became the ABC, a subsidiary of Loral Metals Technology, which operated as a machining and metalworking plant until 1996. ABC was one of the largest precision machiners of beryllium, a lightweight, toxic metal that can withstand harsh environments. ABC became a contract manufacturer of components for aerospace guidance systems and nuclear reactors. Because beryllium has a low density and is stronger than steel, it is used by aerospace industry companies. At ABC, beryllium machine parts were milled, lathed, and drilled into various components. Components were finished by electroplating, anodizing, and vapor degreasing and ultrasonic solvent cleaning (Cilek et al., 2004; FDOH, 2007).
Other Considerations

If you are not a manufacturing expert, then building the manufacturing function in-house can be a challenge. In most cases, the facility (particularly where the final assembly happens) needs to be ISO 13485 certified. Thus, consider outsourcing to an ISO 13485-certified contract manufacturer.

In the proposed framework, the manufacturing activity is represented as a network of service-oriented components that are linked together to produce products or product service systems (PSS) to meet some specified demand. In the performance model knowledge base, this network is referred to as the Service Network. Service network stakeholders include both manufacturers and suppliers (Aurich, Fuchs, and Wagenknecht 2006). The following terms are used to describe the various components of a service network. Vendor: describing an organisation that provides a finished product, e.g. raw material, bar stock or fully realised components, at some cost.Contract Manufacturer: describing an organisation that provides a manufacturing service, e.g. precision welding, mould-making and precision machining, at some cost.Internal Manufacturer: describing an internal activity ‘controlled’ by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of the PSS.Production Line: describing a chain of Internal Manufacturer activities. It is assumed that a production line is also ‘controlled’ by the OEM.
