Production Management
As a tier one supplier to many high profile companies R E Thompson operate a comprehensive production management system in order to both meet agreed delivery times and to properly schedule customers orders into existing workloads. Work in support of long term JIT and lean manufacturing can be scheduled many months in advance thus guaranteeing on time delivery for advanced delivery times.

Integrated Software Control
R E Thompson use a bespoke software application for the integrated control of materials, bills of materials, production control, scheduling, wastage and inspection. With a fully networked facility, machine operators are able to sign off each stage of the production process, production engineers are able to determine material availability and real time delivery estimates can be made. The paperless control of production means that precise estimates of production progress can be made and workloads reassessed as required.

JIT & Lean Manufacturing
With ever increasing demand for cost reduction, Just In Time and Lean Manufacturing options are becoming more essential for a streamlined production line. R E Thompson offer JIT and line side supply to companies such as Smiths, Tyco Electronics and Mitutoyo.

Onsite Liaison
R E Thompson pay particular attention to customer support and regularly make site visits to liaise with customers regarding the quality of their goods as supplied by R E Thompson and determine ways to improve performance, reduce cost and provide a better service where applicable. By acting as a proactive collaborative partner we aim to pick up any issues regarding quality early on and by maintaining a close relationship with our clients we are able to aid our customers in better utilising our skills and services.

Advanced Capacity Planning
We carry out advanced capacity planning at all levels from the scheduling and recruiting of staff through to long term capital investment in machinery to meet customer requirements. For large long term contracts we are always happy to invest in plant or even commission our own equipment, a recent example of which is our robotic Form-In-Place gasket extruder which was commissioned as a special purpose machine for the precision placement of silicone gasket material on air cooling systems for a particular client in the aerospace industry.
