Your business has never been faced by tougher challenges:

• Supply, transportation, and energy costs have shot through the roof.
• The weak economy has cut demand for many products.
• Overseas competition has never been more aggressive.

Yet your customers want you to lower prices and extend them more advantageous terms. To give away premium features. And to supply expensive support options at a price that's great for them, but dangerous for you.

Listening to speakers at symposia, spouting how they made it, doesn't cut it. Your company has its own culture, its own customer set, its own target markets, its own plans for beating competition, its own future. Nobody spouting generalities about another place, another time has the bandwidth to help you chart the course that can lead you to success without pitfalls.

Self-Perception
To go in the right direction, your company requires crystal clear self-perception --
a flawless vision of:

• precisely who you are as a business,
• where your market is going,
• what the needs of your market will be in the future (products, services, geographies),
• whether your manufacturing and operations structure aids or takes away from your business plan, and
• how you can leverage all that knowledge and your unique competencies to get to the finish line ahead of the other guys -- with exactly what customers will be clamoring for, where and when it’s needed.

For more than fifty years (combined), the founders of GOS Consulting have been at the cutting edge of innovation for global businesses:

• Their high level of relevant global experience enables them to conduct highly productive business analyses – always the first step in plotting the future of any business.
• They understand the business imperatives at the heart of both manufacturing process optimization and of custom-tailoring manufacturing strategies to business plans.
• Their top-to-bottom familiarity with the intricacies and customs affecting global manufacturing is leveraged consistently to yield top-quality, reliable supply chains -- a bedrock prerequisite for successful manufacturing, offshore or at home.
• They know the clear advantages of off-shoring every bit as well as they know its less-discussed booby traps.
• The know the subtle (and not-so-subtle) differences between off-shoring to China versus off-shoring to Mexico or to Eastern Europe.
• They understand that off-shoring is not a “one size fits all” solution.
• And they know that the single most important thing they can do for you initially is listen, because that's the only way to distill from today's operations where you really must go tomorrow -- and beyond.
