Understanding the Issues
Industrial subcontracting, also known as “custom manufacturing,” is a widely adopted practice by companies. It involves delegating services or tasks that these companies cannot perform themselves, whether due to a lack of resources, appropriate equipment, expertise, qualified personnel, or simply time constraints.
Indeed, subcontracting becomes a strategic option when companies face significant demand that they cannot meet internally.
This approach allows companies to focus their internal resources on their core competencies while outsourcing specific tasks to specialized partners. This flexibility enables companies to remain competitive in the market by quickly adapting to demand fluctuations.
Subcontracting Offers Numerous Advantages
Here are a few:
Capitalizing on Qualified Human Resources:
Benefit from specialized skills that are not available internally.
Access to Specialized Expertise:
Gain the necessary skills and expertise in specific areas.
Use of Appropriate Equipment Without Initial Investment:
Avoid the costs associated with purchasing equipment by using the subcontractor's.
Flexibility to Manage a Significant Workload:
Effectively respond to a substantial workload and orders.
What Are the Criteria for Choosing a Reliable Subcontracting Partner?
Responsiveness & Proximity
Quick response indicates an ability to meet demands efficiently.
Financial Health & Stable Partnership
Ensure the partner's financial stability to guarantee seriousness and competence.
ISO Certifications
Prefer subcontractors certified ISO9001, or even 14001, as a guarantee of a quality management system.
Reputation & Quality of Work
Conduct online research on the subcontractor's reliability, transparency, and quality of work.
Geographical Distance
Consider the costs and delays related to geographical proximity, which becomes crucial in the current context.
Knowing your subcontractors well is essential to bring real added value to the collaboration while minimizing financial, legal, and commercial risks.
