The Crucial Link in Your Supply Chain
At Worldwide Sourcing & Solutions (WSS), the manufacturing process is where precision engineering meets scalable production. We understand that manufacturing is the most crucial step in the overall product development lifecycle, and our process is designed to eliminate risk and ensure every component meets the highest quality standards, regardless of the production location.
Our network combines state-of-the-art equipment, highly skilled engineers, and strict quality gates across our U.S. domestic facilities in Illinois and our trusted global network in India, Vietnam, and China. We are committed to manufacturing your products to your exact specifications.
Our 5-Step Quality-Driven Manufacturing Process
We maintain rigorous control over every stage of production, from raw material selection to final delivery, ensuring quality and consistency.
Step 1: Materials Procurement
We begin by securing the highest quality raw materials necessary for your components.
- Trusted Network: We work with a vetted network of suppliers to source raw materials (metals, plastics, composites), ensuring they meet all required technical specifications and standards.
- Traceability: Material certifications are documented and managed from the procurement stage onward, forming part of the mandatory PPAP documentation package.
Step 2: Precision Machining and Fabrication
Once materials are procured, our skilled technicians and machinists transform them into the final product using the optimal manufacturing route.
- Diverse Capabilities: We utilize a broad range of capabilities including Machining (CNC milling, turning, drilling), Fabrication (welding, cutting, forming), Casting, and Forging to achieve precise shapes and tolerances.
- Dual-Footprint Production: We strategically choose the location—U.S. for speed/proximity, or global for scale/cost—to best meet your project’s timeline and budgetary goals.
Step 3: Mandatory Quality Control (QC)
Quality control is a non-negotiable part of our process. Our dedicated team of quality control engineers implements stringent measures at critical hold points during production.
- ISO 9001 & Customer Standards: We adhere to stringent ISO 9001 standards and guarantee compliance with any specific quality control processes established by our customers.
- Advanced Inspection: We utilize state-of-the-art inspection technologies, including CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machines) and advanced visual and dimensional testing, to verify adherence to tight tolerances.
Step 4: Assembly and Rigorous Testing
After initial production and QC, components are assembled and subjected to comprehensive testing.
- Functional Validation: Our team assembles the final product and conducts rigorous testing, including visual inspection, functional testing, and stress testing, to ensure the component is reliable and can withstand real-world use in heavy equipment and critical applications.
- PPAP Finalization: All gathered data and test results are consolidated to finalize the Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) package for customer review and sign-off.
Step 5: Packaging and Handover to Logistics
Once the product has successfully passed all quality control checks and testing, we prepare it for transport.
- Secure Packaging: Products are carefully packaged using industry best practices to ensure they arrive at their global destination in perfect condition, protecting delicate components from transit damage.
- Logistics Handoff: The prepared shipment is transitioned to our global logistics partners for final delivery, ensuring a timely and cost-effective distribution.
The WSS Manufacturing Difference: Guaranteed Compliance
We offer more than just manufacturing capacity; we offer accountability and verifiable quality assurance across borders.
- PPAP Mandatory: We remove the uncertainty. PPAP documentation is mandatory for all parts we manufacture, giving you peace of mind and full component traceability.
- Flexible Capacity: We manage production runs from low-volume prototypes to high-volume output, scaling quickly based on your demand.
- Seamless Handover: Our Engineering and Manufacturing teams work in lockstep, ensuring the blueprint validated in the engineering phase is executed flawlessly on the production floor.
