Outsourcing
association recognizes Diebold as a
top
outsourcing service provider
Diebold
was recently included on the International Association of
Outsourcing Professional’s Global Outsourcing 100 list, a
compilation of today’s leading outsourcing service providers.
Diebold’s integrated services solution integrates cross-disciplinary
functions into comprehensive customer solutions. It includes both

IAOP
is a global, membership-based organization that strives to shape the
future of outsourcing as a management practice, profession and
industry. Formed in early 2005 by a consortium of leading companies
involved in outsourcing as customers, providers and advisors, IAOP’s
global membership includes more than 250 organizations, representing
a cross-section of industries and functional activities. Past

“Diebold offers comprehensive, integrated solutions utilizing

Diebold’s senior vice president of global development and services.
“This recognition further substantiates Diebold’s presence in the
outsourcing space and places us in a tier of providers that are
truly world-class.”
Diebold’s use of rapid manufacturing saves time, money
Diebold’s use of
rapid manufacturing
for fixtures has significantly reduced the amount of time it
takes to release a product. Rapid manufacturing is a process that
uses fused deposition modeling (FDM®) to quickly and accurately
produce needed fixtures for machines. According to Rich Lute,
Diebold’s principal engineer, “FDM makes it possible to build
fixtures from durable thermoplastics, such as polycarbonates and ABS
(a type of plastic). The fixtures can be produced to an accuracy of
0.005 inch, which is more than enough for this application.”
“By applying rapid manufacturing techniques, Diebold is able to
assist our associates in proving out design concepts and making
changes as necessary to ensure the correct design will be
implemented into production,” Lute said. “The result to customers is
that Diebold can provide parts at lower cost and a reduced lead
time, allowing them to evaluate and make changes quickly.”
To date, the process reduced time and cost by 80
percent. Lute attributes the success to the recent purchase of an
FDM Titan™,
a machine that produces fixtures in approximately one day, compared
to conventional methods, which can take up to a week. The FDM Titan
machine is located in Diebold’s North Canton, Ohio, facility.
“Rapid manufacturing helps us get to the market faster by providing
a quicker, less expensive method of building the fixture,” adds
Lute.
