Optimizing Production with a Custom Database Management System

Equipment alone does not drive scalability—data and planning do.

To support efficient high volume injection molding, Nylacarb utilizes a custom database management system designed to optimize production timing and machine utilization. This system plays a critical role in reducing downtime and maintaining on-time delivery as workloads increase.

The database helps:

• Track active and upcoming work orders

• Balance production loads across available machinery

• Optimize scheduling to reduce machine changeover time

• Identify utilization gaps before they impact throughput

• Improve coordination between production, quality, and shipping

By using real production data—not guesswork—Nylacarb can proactively adjust schedules, allocate resources effectively, and keep machines running efficiently. The result is less idle time, fewer surprises, and smoother scale-up when volume increases.

In high volume injection molding, minutes matter. A data-driven production system ensures those minutes are used wisely.

Staffing and Shift Coverage That Protects Delivery Timelines

Machines do not operate themselves—and no production schedule survives without experienced people behind it.

Nylacarb operates on a 24/5 production schedule, with the ability to expand to 24/7 operations when demand requires. Typically, the facility runs 1–3 weekends per month, depending on active work orders and customer needs.

With a workforce of approximately 50 skilled employees, Nylacarb maintains coverage across:

• Engineering

• Machine operations

• Quality control

• Maintenance

• Shipping and receiving

This flexibility allows production to scale without compromising quality or overloading personnel. Extended shifts and weekend operations provide an additional layer of protection for delivery timelines during peak demand—an important advantage for high volume injection molding programs with strict deadlines.

Quality Systems That Hold Up Under Pressure

As volume increases, quality systems must do more than exist—they must perform consistently under pressure.

Nylacarb is ISO 9001:2015 certified, ensuring that documented processes, corrective actions, and continuous improvement are embedded into daily operations. These systems become increasingly valuable as production scales and complexity grows.

In addition, Nylacarb is NIST 800-171 compliant and actively working toward CMMC Level 2 self-assessment, targeted for completion by the end of 2026. This positions the company to support defense, aerospace, and other regulated industries where data security and process integrity are critical.

For customers, this means confidence that quality will remain stable—even as volumes increase.

Engineering and Communication: The Hidden Growth Accelerators

High volume injection molding is not just a production challenge—it’s an engineering challenge.

Early engineering involvement plays a key role in long-term scalability. Design-for-manufacturability decisions, material selection, tolerancing, and tooling strategy all influence how well a part performs at higher volumes.

Nylacarb provides experienced engineering support and emphasizes direct, personal communication throughout the life of a program. Customers work with real people who understand their parts—not automated ticket systems or layers of disconnected departments.

This collaborative approach helps:

• Anticipate scaling challenges before they occur

• Reduce costly revisions later in production

• Improve long-term part performance and consistency

Strong communication is often the difference between a supplier and a true manufacturing partner.

Supporting Startups and High-Volume Programs Alike

A scalable injection molding partner must be able to meet customers where they are—and where they’re going.

For startups, this often means:

• Engineering guidance during early design phases

• Realistic planning for future volume increases

• Tooling strategies that allow for growth

For established manufacturers, scalability requires:

• Proven high volume injection molding capability

• Robust scheduling and utilization systems

• Quality and compliance infrastructure that supports large programs

Nylacarb supports both ends of the spectrum by combining engineering expertise, production flexibility, and long-term planning—allowing customers to grow without needing to change suppliers as volume increases.

Family-Owned Since 1987: Stability That Supports Growth

In an industry driven by deadlines and precision, longevity matters.

Nylacarb has been family-owned and operated since 1987, providing stability, accountability, and a long-term mindset that directly benefits customers. Decisions are made with decades in mind—not just the next quarter.

This philosophy supports:

• Long-term customer relationships

• Continuous investment in people, equipment, and systems

• A commitment to doing things right the first time

For customers planning growth in 2026 and beyond, working with a partner built for the long haul provides confidence that production will remain reliable as demands evolve.

Choosing a Partner Built to Scale With You

Growth should not require starting over with a new supplier.

The right injection molding partner supports your business at every stage—through smart equipment investment, skilled staffing, data-driven production systems, and consistent quality standards.

If your plans for 2026 include expansion, higher volumes, or new programs, now is the time to evaluate whether your current supplier is truly prepared for high volume injection molding.

Planning ahead ensures growth becomes an advantage—not a liability.
