Cost Reduction
Most manufacturers are aware that global manufacturing offers a powerful means of reducing costs, expanding capacities and increasing profitability. They also know it isn't easy. It takes time, resources and expertise, and the Jumpsource Proprietary Project Link System . . . and that's where Jumpsource comes in. Jumpsource delivers a turn-key global manufacturing solution that allows you to recognize cost savings quickly and with a significant reduction in risk.

Cost Reduction
China offers significant manufacturing cost savings versus U.S. manufacturing, driven by Labor and Overhead advantages. Cost savings achieved will vary between 10% to 40% depending on manufacturing process employed and the level of labor/machining required.

Material and plating costs tend to be roughly equivalent to the U.S., therefore, the cost savings achieved is a function of Labor/Machining savings Less international freight costs. (See detailed cost comparisons in Capabilities section)

Capacity Expansion
Adding new equipment and maintaining older equipment is a very capital intensive proposition for U.S. manufacturers. Outsourcing manufacturing of custom parts allows companies to expand their capacity without having to incur the cost and risk associated with increasing production assets. It also makes it possible to ramp up manufacturing fast, because the equipment and skills are in place and ready to go.

Time and Risk Reduction
A significant amount of time and effort is required to establish a global manufacturing operation, particularly in Asia. Determining the right market, finding and auditing vendors, navigating the regulations around import/export and payment/logistics does not happen overnight. In fact, it can take years to get a viable outsourcing process in place. Without personnel on the ground to oversee manufacturing and work though issues, there will be a significant investment of time and resource involved throughout the production process.

Jumpsource is on the factory floor working with our manufacturing partners in real time. We take ownership of the parts and accountability for ensuring that your quality parts are delivered on time and at the right price.

Going global with the manufacturing of your custom parts and assemblies means taking your operations to a new level. To make this transition smoothly and successfully, you need a manufacturing partner you can trust . . . and that partner is Jumpsource.

Cost saving achieved in China will vary significantly based on process and the level of labor required.

Process Targeted Savings
Milling 25% to 35%
Turning 20% to 30%
Fabrication 30% to 40%
Assembly 30% to 40%
Casting 15% to 25%
Stamping 10% to 20%
Centerless Grinding 20% to 30%
Welding 30% to 40%
Forging 30% to 40%
Tube bending 15% to 25%

Parts that are particularly labor and handling intensive or require significant secondary processing tend to offer the best opportunity for savings.
