With the New Year upon us, now is the perfect opportunity to evaluate and develop new thinking to improve your business productivity; whether through business restructuring, targeted sales and marketing activity, or through the introduction of operational efficiencies on the factory floor.

AN OUTSOURCED SOLUTION?

Production efficiency is critical in manufacturing. But just how many of us have explored outsourcing production to deliver productivity improvement?

Faced with increasing global competition, the reality is that Australian businesses focused on developing their unique competitive advantage – whether in R&D, technology, marketing, sales and customer support; and those that continually review and process innovate to drive cost and productive efficiency, will survive.

Now is the time to consider a radical thought; Do you really need to run your own sheet metal production facility?

The critical question is whether outsourcing production will be likely to deliver required returns to your business, lowering cost per unit of production through:

• Enabling adjustment of stock levels in accordance with demand
• Eliminating production bottlenecks, and avoiding latent production capacity
• Minimising capital equipment cost, maintenance and skilled labour overhead
• Enabling specialisation through optimising machine and tooling productivity
• Reducing factory floor space

At FORM2000, we are proud to be a supply chain member for many Australian manufacturers that have seen the benefit in outsourcing entire components of their production process, to deliver just these types of productivity improvements.

Using FORM2000 to manufacture your sheet metal components enables you to access the full capabilities of our sheet metal production facility and investment in the latest automated sheet metal technology.
