Solutions: Manufacturing Management

Most of the world's manufacturing is done overseas where language and cultural differences are just the first hurdles you need to clear in order to effectively bring products to market, and yet there are often assemblies within the product mix that are better suited for U.S. production due to either volume, complexity, or certification considerations. With manufacturing in both the U.S. and Asia, we can provide your organization with turnkey manufacturing solutions that will eliminate the complexities and risks of product manufacturing.

In general there are a few key signs that your manufacturing management capabilities might be in need of enhancement through a third-party such as Telefonix. If your company has experienced any of the following, chances are we can help you - regardless of whether your manufacturing partners are across the street or across the globe:

• Delivery commitments are not being met.
• Safety stock inventory levels are rising.
• Backlogs are increasing.
• Expedite charges are increasing.
• Agreed-upon alignment of supply and demand is not being sustained across the entire organization.
• Inventories are not aligned with planned deployments.
• The planning process takes too long.

While most companies have felt a pinch in their bottom line due to the increased cost of raw materials, a recent study by IndustryWeek/Manufacturing Performance Institute Census of Manufacturers showed that over 50% of manufacturers reported increased per-unit manufacturing costs even when purchased-material costs were removed from the equation.
