English to Portuguese Tech/Engineering Manufacturing Subcontracting

Subcontracting – After Manufacturing at a Plant


The Subcontracting process is also used when a material is produced on a manufacturing routing, and is sent out for an operation by a vendor after the manufacturing process has been completed in a Timken plant

For example, if the manufacturing process steps are as follows:
1. Face Grind
2. OD Grind
3. ID Grind
4. Hone
5. Inspect
6. Phosphate Coat

Steps 1-5 are performed in house and step 6 is completed by an external vendor

The manufacturing routing in SAP would be built with the first 5 steps, and step 6 would be a new material that is purchased on a Subcontracting order from the external vendor

A material would need to be created at step 5
