Forensic Production Chain Audit
Because of increasing costs and mounting margin pressures, companies are optimizing their product engineering services. To gain an early advantage they are focusing on product development timelines and new production techniques. At SSTANGO, we understand the importance of innovation in offering competitive edge and customizing existing products within minimized time-frames and at reduced cost. We aim to achieve this by diving deep into the production process and factor. This way we are able to identify "leakages" in the process that may drive production costs up and provide alternative solutions. We are indeed a one-stop solutions provider for our clients throughout the product development life cycle, ranging from conceptual design to manufacturing with the main aim of reducing production cost.
Alternative Raw Material Sourcing
At SSTANGO we understand that to be able to compete in the global market, any company needs to be ahead of the curve. This means that the product reaching the market must be of top quality. The only way to achieve this is to get it right from the initial stage which is sourcing for raw materials. These have to be of high quality but most importantly at the right price. Therefore we will put effort into negotiating on your behalf for good prices or find alternative sources of the same raw materials. In any business transaction all parties need something in return and that is where we come in as intermediaries and negotiate on your behalf so that you get the best at reasonable prices that allow you a reasonable margin.
Alternative Methodology/ Best Practices
As a company, there are procedures and processes that you may have used throughout the years. However, as time goes by other players come into the same space with new methodology and practices. to have a competitive edge you must be able to get your product into the market in timely fashion. We look into your processes and see how best to improve them. Some may need doing away with, some may need a little tweaking to make them more efficient and some may need to be overhauled all together. This is where we come in and keep you up to date with current technologies and best practices.
Cost Reduction
Your overall production cost is the leading determinant of your profit margins and if your company stays in business. Cost is not only from what you buy for the production process but also man hours spent on the production process. All the other factors mentioned above have cost implications involved. We cannot eliminate cost but we can aim to get maximum value for what we put in. At SSTANGO we will take a deep look into how you spend your resources in the production process and suggest areas that will require improvement and leakages that need plugging to bring down the overall production and product cost. When you save you make more.
