Strategic Manufacturing

Manufacturing Turnover Backgrounder
Peter Drucker, the leading management guru for the past half century, has evoked the position that if your company could find someone who is better at a specific process or operation, you should out source to them and then concentrate on your core mission and competence.

As you review your operations in 2003 and recalibrate, we would like you to consider if off loading some or all of your manufacturing could help you better meet your objectives.

Precise Tool is a Northeast-based company that provides the complete manufacturing capabilities for Worldwide distribution. Here are some value-added manufacturing situations:

Manufacturing footprint issues - Existing manufacturing footprint is needed for new products and they would like to out source the operations of older and less strategic products which are still important to continue in production.

Ramp to Volume - Strategic direction is to become more agile with production in marketing and customer focused companies.

High Capital required for new products - Avoid investments in capital that could be driven by new products, so you can focus on R&D and Go to Market efforts.

Lower manufacturing costs -Improve overall manufacturing capabilities and quality through a manufacturing centric company and partner.

Refocus production - Need to out source certain lines of business, products and/or components.

Work force issues - if you are constrained by available skilled workers and production staff. Provides an opportunity to reduce the labor component.

Business Concentration - core production capacity of small to extra large precision metal parts, finishing and assembly that quickly ramps to volume needs.

Customer Comment: “On behalf of our company, I would like to thank you and your staff for the excellent job you've done in taking over our in-house fabricating shop. Your professionalism, enthusiasm and cooperation in this matter was critical to the success of our company and is greatly appreciated. Not only did you manage to keep our line running with very little lead time, but you also overcame the difficulties that occurred (due to the lack of our own documentation and numerous discrepancies with our supplied CAD files). In taking ownership and responsibility for the 500+ part numbers related to this move, you have become our largest and most valued supplier.”
