Rethink Cost-Cutting at Every Level of Manufacturing
January 8, 2012
Thanks to failing economies around the world companies located in the United States are reevaluating costs in every department across the board. Manufacturing is a common place to start in the cost-cutting mission and one company, Phillips, who prides themselves on advanced molding and automated assembly, appeals to this new fashion of frugality on their website.
Not only do they appeal to frugality but also American pride touting that their automated production facilities are able to keep costs low enough to keep the work in the United States enabling companies to save money and employ hard-working Americans – a win-win.
As the website explains,
“To provide you with service excellence, each of our facilities features automated processes designed to reduce labor costs and save you money and time. In fact, with automation in place, you may find your program is more competitively priced if manufactured in the U.S. than your offshore alternatives. Of course, you also benefit from access to Phillips’ overseas partners to meet your unique consumer product manufacturing needs.”
While we applaud companies for streamlining productions expenses we do not believe the frugality should end there. By eliminating unnecessary waste created in information processes companies can create even more savings, something vital to survival in this economic hard-time. Since data is the basic building block or any company or organization adopting new data management solutions is the place to begin the information processes reconstruction.
