Tool Transfer / Maintenance

Execution of tool transfers and Continued Maintenance

Novation excels in executing successful tool transfers. We utilize a risk mitigation process so that we can respond to our customers need for a change in sourcing partners with speed and elimination of supply chain disruptions.  Before a tool arrives, we initiate a detailed questioning process and checklist of due diligence items which have been developed over the years to ensure that we uncover any potential maintenance issues, inventory and shipment concerns or areas for design and/or quality improvements.

Upon receipt of the tool, we go through a qualification process to uncover any potential problems which includes inspection of the tool, review of the part quality and comparison to specification and quality standards. If we uncover any discrepancies or concerns we will work with our customers to complete design modifications or tool maintenance if required.

The tool preventative maintenance program provides added value to our customers, brining optimal tool productivity, reduced rejects, minimal downtime and longer tool life.  We have in house capabilities which allow us to provide quick responses, lower tool repair costs and minimal downtime.
