Manufacturing strategy

Depth of production, make-or-buy and technology selection — aligned with product portfolio, capacity and sites.

In brief

A manufacturing strategy defines which value creation a company performs itself, which it buys in, and with which technologies and sites it produces. Bross Consulting develops manufacturing strategies along depth of production, make-or-buy and technology selection.

A manufacturing strategy defines which value creation a company performs itself, which it buys in, and with which technologies and sites it produces. It connects the corporate and product strategy with the concrete design of production.

Approach

Starting from objectives, volumes and depth of value creation, options for in-house production, external sourcing and technology use are assessed.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How does manufacturing strategy differ from production planning?

Manufacturing strategy clarifies depth of production, make-or-buy and technology selection at a strategic level; production planning implements these decisions operationally.

When is a make-or-buy decision part of the manufacturing strategy?

Make-or-buy belongs in the manufacturing strategy whenever a decision is made about in-house production or external sourcing of entire components or process steps.
