An exemplary embodiment of the invention relates to a method and system for facilitating supply chain processes in an outsourced manufacturing environment comprising an original equipment manufacturer, at least one contract manufacturer, and at least one supplier. In one embodiment, the laser catheter includes a shaftway having a distal end including a flexible portion configured in a series of radial folds. The operating parameter may be adjusted so that an ensemble of particles having the highest measured temperature and an ensemble of particles having the highest measured velocity and an ensemble of particles having the highest measured flow rate are moved more closely together to create a common region proximate a surface of a substrate to be coated by the spray process.
