How does ForceBeyond’s Tier-1.5 model actually reduce supply chain risk?
In a traditional supply chain, a raw casting is shipped from a foundry to an independent machine shop, and then to a plating vendor. If a dimension is out of tolerance, vendors blame each other, causing massive delays. Our Tier-1.5 model consolidates primary casting/forging, Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP), and 5-axis CNC machining under one ForceBeyond corporate entity. We take 100% accountability for the finished part, eliminating vendor hand-off risks entirely.
