Design Review

Our established design process guarantees milestones and deliverables are met through meticulous design review at critical junctures. Expertise in projects ranging from prototypes and proof of concepts to build-to-print drone assemblies and aircraft support equipment have perfected and maintained our thorough design and development process. Identifying potential production complications before they occur allows us to deliver defect-free products while meeting tight deadlines.

Procurement

Our supply chain management team works closely with our engineering and project management teams to identify the ideal supplier for a component or service. By evaluating both long-time partners and new suppliers to choose the right fit based on the need, capability, capacity, and consistency of delivery, we reduce manufacturing bottlenecks and risks before they ever occur.

Production

Zepher’s project managers serve as the primary build technicians for their product line, managing technical requirements, schedule, scope, and quality. This highly structured approach to custom manufacturing improves communication between stakeholders, allowing the project managers to directly address each stage of the product realization cycle.

Testing

Consistently delivering defect-free products and manufacturing logistics requires a robust plan. As each subcomponent and subassembly is completed, it is tested for functionality according to customer standards. Whether build-to-spec or build-to-print, functional and acceptance testing of finished products is a significant part of Zepher’s custom manufacturing development service.

All-Inclusive Delivery

Every product we produce is delivered to the highest standards of quality. Whether the end product needs to be boxed, crated, or trailered, it will leave our production floor ready for drop shipment direct to you or your customer, complete with compliance documentation, testing reports, and conformance certificates that serve as Zepher’s seal for quality contract manufacturing. Turnkey deliveries are our core competency.
