Best Cost Country Sourcing
The world has grown smaller than ever. Geographic proximity no longer limits your company’s supplier options for purchasing materials, components, and other essential services. Whether you’re buying electrical components from Southeast Asia, or metal fabrications from Mexico, Gibson Consulting’s Best Cost Country Sourcing leverages the global marketplace to drive bottom-line value and improve overall quality and efficiency. With decades of experience and low-cost global sourcing expertise, we can help you with an approach that’s equal parts qualitative and quantitative.
M&A Due Diligence
Our pre-merger analysis is a data-driven method for determining the true value of potential supply chain synergies. We leverage data to calculate the true benefit of vertical integration and potential value compared to alternative M&A targets. Gibson will also analyze potential product consolidation and purchase costs across divisions. Following our M&A Due Diligence, Gibson will initiate our proprietary 11 Gate Global Strategic Sourcing Process, which yields the foundational improvements necessary to generate repeatable results.
Manufacturing Efficiency
Every manufacturing company looks to improve the bottom line by decreasing costs, production time, and waste. That’s why the majority of our supply chain consulting clients have a variety of Lean Manufacturing practices in place at the onset of our relationship. We add value by evaluating and optimizing these practices while focusing on Manufacturing Efficiency in the actual manufacturing process, which can include upgrading and redesigning production lines. Our initiatives are centered on these principles:
- Focusing on value
- Eliminating waste (Muda)
- Enhancing product flow
- Building only what the customer needs
- Striving to deliver quality execution
