High-Mix Low-Volume Manufacturing

At Sigma Design, High-Mix Low-Volume Manufacturing focuses on quality, flexibility, and speed.

This approach supports the needs of industries such as aerospace, medical, and consumer electronics where customization, precision, and rapid delivery are essential.

Need many different products built in small quantities? High-Mix Low-Volume (HMLV) Manufacturing refers to our capability to produce a wide variety of complex products in relatively small quantities, with a strong focus on quality, flexibility, and speed. This approach aligns with the evolving needs of industries like aerospace, medical, and consumer electronics—industries that require customization, precision, and speed. Unlike traditional mass production, HMLV high mix low volume manufacturing lets you bring specialized products to market faster, with the agility to adapt to changing demands.

Manufacturing People

What It Means

  • High Mix – We support a diverse range of products, often customized or specialized, each with unique requirements. Frequently, our customers work on multiple product lines, or versions of products at the same time that they want produced in quantities of 100-1,000, but want the flexibility to adjust subsystems, or other elements as they are being produced.
  • Low Volume – We build in smaller quantities, ideal for prototypes, pilot runs, or niche market products. Although we build high complexity products at relatively lower build volumes, we are building products continuously for months or years.

Why It Matters

  • Ideal for startups, innovators, and R&D teams at Fortune 50 companies needing short runs without compromising on engineering precision.
  • Supports frequent design changes and evolving requirements.
  • Provides support for establishing manufacturing lines and staffing them either at customer sites or within our own facilities.
  • HMLV enables faster time to market while maintaining production integrity.
  • Many of these builds are ongoing, with continuous production lasting months or years.
