Manufacturing Support

I received a notice that the location where my Boyd parts are made is changing, why?

Boyd constantly strives to drive continuous improvement in your customer experience. Sometimes we find the opportunity to give you continuous improvement in customer support, quicker delivery of excellent quality products, faster in-region service, or better ability to scale with you as your capacity needs grow by leveraging a different Boyd site. We may decide to move the production location of your parts if we think we can give you better service and value. See your Account Manager with questions or concerns.

Where will my parts be transitioned to?

Your dedicated Account Manager will closely coordinate with you if we are moving your Boyd product to a different manufacturing location. They will notify you well in advance of any / all contractual change notifications that you require so you have plenty of time to review and approve the change within your operating systems, standard operating procedures, and guidelines. Your Account Manager will identify all impacted parts, the new Boyd location they will be manufactured at, and provide a detailed change schedule with timing. See your Account Manager with questions or concerns.

Will a production location change disrupt my business?

We commit operations to continue “business as usual” with all transition processes between Boyd sites to be seamless to you. Consistency in customer service and support is a requirement and any move should be easy and low impact for you. In some instances, you may already contract with the new site. We’ll help verify if we already have your company set up with a Vendor Code.

When will this transition occur?

Your dedicated Account Manager will closely coordinate with you if we are moving your Boyd product to a different manufacturing location. They will notify you well in advance of any / all contractual change notifications that you require so you have plenty of time to review and approve the change within your operating systems and guidelines. Your Account Manager will identify all impacted parts, the new Boyd location they will be manufactured at, and provide a detailed change schedule with timing. See your Account Manager with questions or concerns.

Will the new site manufacture my products to my precise specifications?

We will ensure operators are properly trained on the processes required to support your products. We’re also assuring the specific raw materials specified for your components are available in the new production site. PPAPs or First Articles will be coordinated with you for change approval processes as required.

For parts moving to a new Boyd manufacturing location, do I need to update my Purchase Orders or other contracts with Boyd?

We will meet all commitments to you and attempt to make this as seamless as possible for you. Existing orders and contracts in place with Boyd will be transitioned with your products unless otherwise notified. Contact your Account Manager if you need to place a purchase order for shipment prior to the move.

Will a production location change effect previously committed delivery dates?

Delivering on customer commitments is a top priority. We will closely monitor our performance and proactively address any issues as soon as they are identified but do not expect this transition to impact any committed delivery dates to you.
