Often the OEM's most challenging supply chain to manage, "Class C Components" or "C class parts" are the terms used to characterize high volume, low cost (or HVLC) parts and materials used in the assembly of a durable product, or by the manufacturing process itself. This represents an extremely diverse range of standard and engineered components.

Examples of Class C items include all types and styles of:

Standard & Semi-Standard Fasteners
Screw Machine Products
Wire Form Products
Forgings
Engineered Plastic and Metal Rivets
Clamps Bearings and Bushings
Stampings and Fine Blankings
