Is your business continuing or expanding its manufacturing operations to include facilities in Mexico? Have you established your supplier network? Are you considering all of the factors needed to select the right supplier? For example, does the supplier meet strict agency and regulatory requirements? Does the supplier control and manage the supply chain and include fast and accurate shipment tracking? Does the supplier produce quality product consistently, with the ability to react quickly to short-run orders as well as long-run requirements?

Case in Point
This global manufacturer of electrical products and tools has nearly 100 manufacturing locations around the world. Based on these extensive operations, the company was looking to consolidate its more than 50 label suppliers into one large player who was capable of handling both its U.S. and Mexico operations, while at the same time delivering cost reductions and value-added services.
Following an extensive assessment of the company’s specific business needs, Taylor Communications created and implemented a program for the company’s over 2,000 printed production parts. The result was an estimated savings of 22 percent through operational efficiencies created by process improvements on the production floor, reduced lead times and lower freight costs. The company also experienced quality improvements through Taylor Communication’s design services, agency compliance expertise and engineering reviews of all printed production parts.
