Manufacturing & Distribution

Manufacturing can be a cut-throat industry where every dollar saved can contribute towards your success. Also, manufacturers must always be cognizant of optimizing for the maximum efficiency, obeying the changing regulatory environment, and of rising costs. Manufacturing is also a testing ground for new innovations in technology, productivity, and performance. With new innovations coming out on a daily basis, it can be overwhelming to manage your manufacturing process in a way that’s both modern and effective. By hiring experts to take control of the cost, strategy, and financial components of the manufacturing process, you can rest easy knowing that your manufacturing business is carefully monitored for financial, business, and operational performance indicators.

The term “manufacturing” is a catch-all phrase for the many different sub-industries that fall under manufacturing. Depending on which industry you’re in, your manufacturing needs may differ–and the manufacturing process will also look different. For example, some manufacturing processes may be heavy on transportation logistics, while others may be more product-focused, and have a highly involved team of researchers who are involved in every step of the way. The structure of a manufacturing business should not be overlooked because it is essentially the structure of a micro-organization within a business. A manufacturing wing of a business can have a completely different culture, financial benchmarks, and daily quotas than the rest of the business units.

Manufacturing, at its core, also depends on macro-economic factors such as trade, exports/import ratios, and raw resource availability. While you may be an expert in some parts of the manufacturing process, there’s a high chance that you’re not an expert in all areas of manufacturing–there are simply too many areas to do a deep dive into all of them. At Odoni Partners LLC, we have a team of experts who can guide you through all areas of manufacturing, from finance to innovation to operations. Our combined expertise lends itself to robust recommendations for your manufacturing business, that take into account both micro and macro considerations.

Manufacturing is not just machines, either. It’s also powered by people–which means that you need to be able to identify compensation and employee benefit packages that make sense for the manufacturing field. When there are real humans involved in an organization, there is often a true business challenge in managing them in a way that’s effective. We are able to analyze employee compensation and units to give you a better understanding of the overall picture of your business.

Of course, manufacturing also includes machines and their ever-changing technology.

Whether you’re considering purchasing new technology or trying to cost out the real profitability of a process, we can advise you on your strategy, as well as create financial benchmarks for manufacturing success.

Another vital component of the manufacturing process is inventory management and understanding inventory seasonality and flow. We can help you choose the right inventory management software that will save you money in the long-run, and also examine other ways for you to more effectively manage your inventory. From managing to distributing inventory, we can advise you on how to optimize all of your manufacturing processes.

When you’re looking to change your manufacturing process, another consideration is the financing behind your business. Are you able to obtain financing from investors? How can you better show-off your business to investors–and from which investors should you seek funding? These are all questions that we can help answer through careful analysis of your manufacturing business, as well as thorough financial analysis.
