Our profit sharing business model already boasts a proven record of success
Today, a manufacturer frequently finds itself being serviced by numerous outsourcing providers either at manufacturing sites or at various production processes. Not only has this situation placed a growing burden on the client in managing a large stable of providers, it has also diluted accountability as well. While this troubling trend is becoming more and more manifest, OUTSOURCING's profit sharing business model has established a proven performance record because we draw on our extensive knowledge base built up over the years and by promoting turnkey service contracting through the integration of our business resources with that available to our clients.
Our goal is clear: to become our clients' service provider of choice. We can also respond flexibly to any fluctuation in demand for workers resulting from any increase or decrease in production volume.
