A simple question we like to ask is, ‘If you could build more machines faster and better, could you sell them?
The financial impact of revenue growth eclipses the singular focus on cost reduction to increase company profitability. For example, if a machine builder produces 10 machines per month selling at £200k each with an average profit of 10%, the impact of being able to scale up to build 12 machines a month could generate nearly half a million pounds of additional profit each year.
It is scenarios such as this that well-considered strategic outsourcing partnerships unlock. Strategic outsourcing is without doubt a method that, when utilised correctly, can significantly improve the productivity (£ sales per capita) of an organisation.
You will need to consider whether an outsourcing partner can actually do an even better job than you can. They will need the expertise, people, skills and plant and automation to improve the existing production process, boost the quality of your machines and help in the development of designs in the future.
