Description
While manufacturers continue searching for an answer to the overwhelming cost pressures they face today, one global tire manufacturer found an innovative solution. The company took an in-sourcing model, manufacturing process outsourcing (MPO), and spread it throughout seven manufacturing facilities in the United States. The ability to save millions in labor costs, maintain quality, avoid coemployment issues, and use focused resources was achieved by outsourcing inside the organization's facilities. Learn about the MPO concept and its dramatic effect on a tier-one global tire manufacturer.
