For many of the companies that we come across, the answer may lie simply in generating enough cash in the short and medium term to survive and to rebuild the business. The ability to generate cash gives you the freedom to be the price leader, to spend on new products and to offer the best in customer service, all of which are basic requirements to compete in increasingly global and competitive markets.

Kick-starting the Virtuous Cycle

Following this rigorous analysis phase, a model for breaking out of the current stalemate can be developed. This simply involves identifying opportunities for short term - cash generation - which in our experience involves outsourcing / sourcing in the first instance, followed by investments in productivity improvements. This is not always the case and we have also worked with companies that would not have benefited from outsourcing.  

But in the majority of cases, outsourcing can yield dramatic short term results. Plan B Manufacturing focuses on developing and delivering practical solutions to increase our clients’ manufacturing competitiveness. Cost savings of up to 20%, beginning as early as 3 months. can be achieved with our support.

Plan B works in partnership with our clients, operating to clearly defined targets and measures of success, and providing as much or as little project management support as required.
