Outsourcing manufacturing to India

Partnering with us provides a worry-free way to outsource manufacturing to India and achieve rapid results. We can get involved as much or as little as required in the project.

Starting at the business level, we can work quickly to identify the level of outsourcing that may be appropriate for your situation. The choices usually range from spot procurement, strategic partnering, contract manufacturing, licencing, Joint ventures, Brown field and Green field projects.

Obviously there are increasing risks and resource commitment involved in each of these options and we help you identify and manage them. The Plan B team has extensive experience of all of these deal structures and can not only help you manage the projects to successful completion but can also work in partnership with you to share the risks.

Outsourcing decisions often are made with the 'follow the herd' mentality which makes certain low cost destinations fashionable until other destinations catch on. We help clarify the real reasons for outsourcing (i.e. Cash generation, Competitiveness) and help ensure that these goals are achieved as planned. If outsourcing is NOT appropriate to your situation we would certainly say so.

In addition we are able to pull together all of the elements such as Funding, JV partners, the local operations management team, or to provide the overall Project management in a Build-Operate-Transfer arrangement which can minimise the risks of setting up operations in India.

Strategic Sourcing

Alternatively, we can provide full service component sourcing. We handle overall project management, engineering coordination, production control, quality assurance and logistics. Again, we can get involved as much or as little as required.
