Better to Buy Than to Build Power Supplies

In order to save money, companies often take on the daunting task of building their own power supplies to perform specific functions.  However, what many companies do not realize is that taking on the task of building a power supply themselves can cost more money, time, and resources than had been expected.  Often times the resulting product may not be efficient or able to manage the task it was designed for.  Therefore, it is better to purchase the desired power supply from a company that specializes in producing power supplies.

Companies from buy from Competitive Components, rather than build the product themselves, for the following reasons:
  • Unforeseen costs can arise from building the product yourself.  Without the expertise to estimate developmental costs, companies have no way of accurately gauging how much money might be saved or lost while attempting to develop their own power supplies.  It becomes obvious during production that more equipment is needed to test the product for functionality.  Companies find themselves having to purchase additional test equipment and hire professionals to build the power supplies like they had wanted.  The costs add up, and said companies discover that is would have been less expensive to have bought the needed power supply from a company that specializes in building the product.  Ordering from Competitive Components provides a known upfront cost that minimizes these risks.
  • Save money on labor, resources, materials, and time.  Companies can end up spending thousands of dollars on labor, consultants, and materials.  They also take the risk of increasing their labor costs by assigning employees the task of building equipment that is not in the employees' line of expertise.  To correct problems with the product, professionals are often needed.  The product then has to be rebuilt or amended, costing the companies more money in new materials, professional help, and time spent.  Since there are many subtleties to power supplies that would not be known to novice designers, it would be better for companies to purchase power supplies from a business that specializes in them.  Competitive Components' franchises have the necessary equipment, personnel and materials readily available for building quality power supplies.  Companies can depend on Competitive Components' as we understand the mechanical and electrical issues of power supplies.  Competitive Components can provide designs that are time-tested and have been improved over many design cycles.
  • Competitive Components' franchises manufacture it at a lower price.  Competitive Components' franchises specialize in manufacturing and marketing a full line of AC/DC and DC/DC power conversion products.  We also specialize in modifying standard power devices as well as building custom products to meet our customers' needs.  Custom products are able to be made at a very affordable price, even for low quantities.  Since our franchises also build in bulk, we can build power supplies fast and at a low price.
  • Competitive Components' franchises provide a warranty.  Companies can rest easy when purchasing from a business that provides a warranty on its products.  Our franchises guarantee that the desired product will function as it should.  If the product malfunctions, it can be repaired or replaced for little or no cost.  However, the guarantee that the product will function correctly does not exist when a company builds the product themselves.
It is not an easy task for a company to create its own power supply.  Often times a company ends up spending excess amounts of money, time, materials, and labor in an attempt to build the desired power supply.  Companies often find themselves resorting to professional help because they do not understand enough about power supplies to effectively replicate them.  Avoid the pitfalls of designing and building your company's power supplies in-house as the finished product is often unsatisfactory.
