How can I be certain that Insource will reduce costs?
Before we issue a proposal we perform an assessment of the operation. Assessments are performed by industrial engineers and entail touring the facility, mapping the operation, performing time studies, building elemental time models, and collecting historical operating data. We then triangulate our observations and analysis to the data provided to develop a total cost-of-output baseline that is shared and pressure-tested with the company to confirm its accuracy. As a result, the company often gains new insights into its own costs. At the end of this process we develop a custom solution that delivers a fixed cost that offers quantifiable value relative to the baseline.
Why would I want to outsource my capabilities?
Insource will supplement your company’s capabilities as a specialized and committed operating partner. We will allow your team to off-load the time consuming and distracting task of managing undifferentiated labor intensive functions across your supply chain and free your team to devote their attention to enhancing the capabilities that make your company distinctive.
How will I ensure that I benefit as the operation continues to improve?
We work with our customers to create improvements that unlock financial gains within their operations and we share these gains with them through our pricing. We customize the specific method for identifying and sharing gains based on your unique operational conditions and changes.
What type of year over year savings can I expect?
The amount of year over year savings available can range from 3 – 20% and is dependent upon operational conditions, the scale of services, and the flexibility of the processes up and downstream to Insource’s area of responsibility. In every case, savings generated from improvements first go to off-set inflationary employment pressures and the remainder is shared with our clients.
How much does it cost to implement your solution?
Insource invests significant professional engineering time and resources in both the assessment and implementation of our solutions. The time and cost varies depending upon the size and complexity of the application. However, our view is long-term so we absorb these costs and consider this an investment in the partnership with our customers.
