 We travel to your existing manufacturing facility,
meet with the project team, and review the products and processes planned for Mexico. |
|
Based
on the business requirements matrix we suggest three or four cities you
should focus on and add to that the cities recommended by people in
your organization. The project is thus driven by your business
requirements matrix rather than a real estate decision.
The
Site Selection & Analysis deliverables are a project operational
budget and a definition of one time startup costs. |
The analysis includes a business requirements and facility requirements study. From this study and our discussions with your project
team we define the drivers for your specific project and their weight.
The result is a matrix for use in ongoing efforts.
Also included is information to quantify major costs and savings to be anticipated
Based
on our experience from many successful projects we give you a detailed
30,000 foot look and we will tell you if your project is likely to be
successful in Mexico. As important, we will tell you if you should not
go to Mexico. |
 |
The report is a
comprehensive study of regional and local location options, compared
specifically as relates to your specific business requirements.
The options are yours; the choices quantified and qualified in detail suitable for board decision.
Part
two is the Micro Site Research and Analysis. Here you have selected the
likely city and we are doing a site specific investigation.
We
also investigate such items as local labor environment and costs,
federal, state, municipal government incentives, infrastructure
verification, regulatory preparation… |
 Mexico is not all the same! The specific area where you choose to
locate your business in Mexico will impact every facet of your
operation. It is a long-term decision, which can determine your
company’s success or failure in Mexico.
From a
uniquely operational and unbiased perspective we gather detailed
information that, when correlated, gives our client powerful, fact
based, decision making tools.
This research and
analysis is specifically tailored to address those issues that are most
relevant to the client’s needs. |
|
 The
single most common reason that companies struggle or fail when
beginning operations in Mexico can be traced back to human resource
decisions.
Many companies fail to recognize the
difference between a Startup Team and an Operating Team. The unique
qualities and skill sets required to Startup a new business or new
manufacturing facility are significantly different from those required
to grow and fine-tune one.
Often
our clients use our startup services to assure a turbulence free
startup which includes the coordination of equipment transfer,
installation, and startup. |
Do
you need heavy infrastructure? Proximity to ports? Big numbers of
skilled workers? The site search and analysis is critical for the best
decision.
Our Site Search analysis includes detailed
regional and local labor analysis focusing on availability, costs,
turnover, benefits, and unions.
Real estate costs and availability are also presented within your report. |
 |
Also our startup pros
handle human resource recruiting and training, labor union contract and
relations, as well as the establishment and implementation of
operational procedures, methods, and formats.
We handle all licenses, permits, incorporation, and registrations. With our staff’s understanding of manufacturing in Mexico’s complicated regulatory environment we know what information must be gathered and how it should be submitted to achieve regulatory compliance quickly and inexpensively. |
This service helps you avoid several project killers most notably
giving you real numbers for your proforma rather than the often grossly
misrepresented numbers provided by economic development officials or
reliance on Mexican state and federal "official" number.
We make the complex project analysis process easier for you as we
consider all the appropriate factors, provide the correct factual data,
then correlate the results to provide a clear and comprehensive picture
of the costs and time required to set up an operation in Mexico.
The deliverables here are a detailed and thorough analysis of the
suitability of your project for Mexico populated with reliable
verifiable numbers for your go/no go decision.
Our Site Search & Analysis is a two part process.
The Macro Site Research and Analysis evaluates specific labor issues,
multiple cities’ suitability to support the client’s manufacturing
process, availability of local suppliers, logistics, startup issues,
infrastructure, and life quality comparisons. |
|
What is key here is that your primary
concern is transferring the technology and process; the last thing you
need is your project manager taking time to deal with one time startup
issues. We take that on.
 For
companies considering a shelter arrangement in Mexico, we offer an
