Cut Industrial Equipment Cost - Co-Manufacturing

BY: Chad Shepherd, SHEPHERD FOODS, INC.
Hands-down, industrial equipment is a major expense for many businesses. However, with the right strategies, companies can reduce their costs significantly by utilizing co-manufacturing services from professional companies.    Co-manufacturing is a process where two or more companies collaborate to share resources, personnel, and responsibilities in producing goods. By utilizing this method, businesses can save money on industrial equipment by sharing that of already established facilities. It is a strategy that can be used in any industry, including the food industry. In this blog post, we will look at ways that you, particularly as a freeze dried food provider, can cut the high cost of industrial equipment by co-manufacturing with us here at Shepherd Foods.  

Use Cost-Effective Materials

  For industrial businesses, the cost of equipment and supplies can be a major factor in whether or not they are able to stay competitive. That being said, finding ways to reduce costs without compromising quality is essential. One way to do this is through co-manufacturing, or the process of involving a partnership with another company to produce parts or components for you to sell. By working together, both companies can benefit from cost savings associated with using shared resources and materials.   We here at Shepherd Foods utilize high quality food ingredients for significantly low prices that we have achieved while being in business for over a decade.   

Optimizing Product Materials & Design

  Industrial equipment can be expensive, but you can cut costs by optimizing your product materials and design with the right co-manufacturing partner. By taking advantage of innovative manufacturing techniques and modern materials, you can reduce the cost of industrial equipment while still producing high-quality products. While this process is more relevant in some industries than others, the food industry can still benefit from this practice through the following ways:   1. Optimize Product Materials – Consider ways to redesign recipes and other food products that allow for fewer ingredients and simpler assembly. Of course, our team of professionals can help with this step. Sometimes small changes, such as using a different material or shape, can significantly reduce the cost of manufacturing.   2. Take Advantage of Automation – Automated processes can significantly reduce labor costs and improve product consistency. Our professionals perform manufacturing with a highly clean and efficient automated assembly and testing processes whenever possible.   3. Minimize Material Waste – Work with your co-manufacturing partner to achieve the most efficient methods for manufacturing food ingredients, like cutting or sorting, for example. We can help you minimize waste and reduce the overall cost of manufacturing.   4. Leverage Professional Technology – Professional food production technology revolutionizes how industrial equipment is designed and manufactured for the food industry. Consider co-manufacturing to create your food products that would otherwise be difficult or costly.   5. Source Local Suppliers – Working together with local suppliers can significantly reduce the cost of shipping and materials, and Shepherd Foods would know! We work as a co-manufacturing partner who has established relationships with local suppliers, effectively reducing costs.  

Is Co-Manufacturing Right For You?

  If you’re looking to reduce the high cost of industrial equipment, we recommend you explore co-manufacturing. By working with multiple vendors, you can reduce costs by consolidating purchasing, shipping, and processing activities. However, choosing the right manufacturing process is essential to achieving maximum savings. The experts at Shepherd Foods can apply our solutions to your situation for beginning the most benefits all around.   1. Determine Your Production Goals: Start by determining the specific production goals that need to be met. It will help you identify which processes will produce the desired output efficiently and at the lowest cost.   2. Identify Processes and Machinery: Once you have determined your goals, identify all possible processes and machinery that can achieve them. We will help consider the lead time, quality, cost, and scalability of each.   3. Research Manufacturing Capabilities: Do research to learn about the capabilities and experience of potential co-manufacturers. Evaluate how they would work together to meet your production needs best.
