Major Pen Manufacturer

Engineering department needed a fastener for a new pen design. FMP rendered assistance in the design of the fastener. Samples were sent for approval.

Samples Approved

Engineering specifies FMP fasteners. The happy ending usually begins here. This story continues.

Purchasing Department Buys Production Quantity Not From FMP.

Order is placed with another source, based solely upon price. All fasteners are the same, right? Some folks might think so.

Production Line Goes Down

Engineering and Manufacturing departments identify failure of fastener. Alternative source of supply is discovered, and eliminated.
