We help manufacturing industry clients improve the performance of their off-shore manufacturing capabilities through a variety of solutions ranging from manufacturing strategy, manufacturing excellence, employee capability building and global footprint development and implementation. We have helped companies ranging in size from fortune 500s to those with revenues less than $100 million a year to achieve operational excellence both domestically and internationally, enabling them to deliver on their internal objectives every time, at the lowest possible cost. Today’s market challenges and global dynamics present both challenges and extraordinary opportunities for companies to restructure their operations to cover not only lost ground but to gain unprecedented competitive advantage against their competitors. Infinite Sum is positioned to help our clients capture these opportunities.

Companies are investing more “upstream” to improve product creation and “downstream” to better serve their customers and raise profitability. These trends will intensify the already strong pressure to maximize manufacturing efficiency and operational performance. In the future, the same companies will consistently align products and resources with their brand positioning. They are designing their products, as well as their international manufacturing facilities and supply chains so they can produce product more efficiently, at lower cost while all the time improving quality. In addition, the proliferation of the emerging markets not only as a sourcing solution, but also as a market opportunity to sell their products requires that companies need to become more flexible relative to where and how they setup their manufacturing plants.

OEMs suppliers also will see drastic changes in their value creation structures. They will need to improve operational efficiency to achieve additional cost reductions which are necessary to remain competitive. As the OEMs restructure where they relocate manufacturing operations around the world, they will expect their strategic suppliers to follow them. These trends make it critically important that suppliers develop a sophisticated, long-term manufacturing strategy in alignment with their own OEM customers.

WHAT MAKES OUR PRACTICE DISTINCTIVE?

Infinite Sum have 20+ years and a strong track record in delivering large scale and small scale manufacturing development initiatives on behalf of clients ranging from fortune 500s to those with revenues of less than $100m. We have a proven track record of working with senior executives on challenges like assessing overall manufacturing competitiveness, determining the status of manufacturing technology, defining the right make-versus-buy concepts, and establishing new global manufacturing networks.

Equally importantly, we work on manufacturing initiatives that develop production systems, especially in industries and remote geographical regions where these are traditionally not common. We also drive cost-improvement programs in uncompetitive plants, and improve quality or throughput with clients whenever and wherever circumstances require it.
