Shelter Arrangement - Weekly or Monthly Detailed Line Item Costing

Before a company moves in to a Rapid facility operating under a shelter agreement, we start the process with a very simple quotation format detailing applicable items such as:

1 - Direct Labor Costs
2 - Indirect Labor Costs
3 - Administration Support
4 - Miscellaneous Expenses
5 - Basic Building Utility and Space Costs
6 - Special Facility Costs (for a Class 10,000 Clean Room as an example)
7 - Shelter Fee
8 - Income Tax
9 - Equipment Utilities (Generally a client will move some or all of their own equipment into our plant and we will meter and bill for equipment utilities as a separate line item)
10 - Warehousing and/or Fulfillment Costs (F.O.B. El Paso, TX)

Our contracts for Shelter or Contract Manufacturing arrangements are very simple and very fair - making the decision easy to choose to partner with Rapid over other providers.


Contract Manufacturing Arrangement - Piece Price Costs

In a contract manufacturing or piece price arrangement, we charge per unit of actual production. In many cases, the quickest way to get started is when the client redirects their supply chain to ship material to El Paso, TX warehouse where we take it from there. We will take care of everything and deliver finished product right back to the same warehouse in the agreed upon time frame. We offer fulfillment as well, letting the client focus on servicing their customer and not concerning themselves with the day to day details of manufacturing.

Over time, you the client may wish to source some components within Mexico which we can provide assistance with as well. This can evolve into a complete turnkey solution in some cases. Initially, using the clients existing supplier base and bringing in on consignment, enables manufacturing to begin in a much shorter timeframe. In any case, our MRP can support your supply chain management at any stage of the project.
