Why outsourcing is especially profitable now

Outsourcing the Production Process with SWS Group.

The statutory minimum wage of 12 euros now in force in Germany, ever-increasing personnel costs and downright inflationary price explosions in all areas are causing headaches for many a production manager. Added to this are the well-known, worsening personnel bottlenecks: these are the main reasons why outsourcing of partial services is currently gaining in importance for producers.

"We are currently seeing a significant increase in demand for services, such as in the subassembly of electrotechnical parts in the automotive industry," says Axel Wennes, underlining the current trend. The managing director of the SWS Group has therefore significantly expanded his service unit for packaging and integrating small technical parts for automated further processing in close cooperation with the site in Mitrovica in Kosovo: "As an intelligent, cost-efficient variant, outsourcing now offers new opportunities for production flexibility. With a huge range of services, we support the automotive industry and companies in the electrical engineering segment with subassembly, packaging, quality inspection, packaging services and much more.

 

The new dimension of production flexibility

Cooperation in the area of outsourcing assembly work for subassemblies offers customers attractive opportunities to generate new savings and value creation potential in the process chain. For example, outsourcing labor-intensive assembly steps can lead to a significant increase in production flexibility: Economic fluctuations, Peaks in demand and personnel bottlenecks can be cushioned in a variable manner. The entrepreneurial risk for the client is reduced, as they only hire when they need it. "Just-when-you-need" is the new "just-in-time."
