“To maximize cost competitiveness and improve ROI, Lean Manufacturing

must be deployed beyond in-house operations to include the entire supply

chain.”

We are experienced in deployment of Lean Manufacturing across all business

operations.

We form relationships with suppliers that enable Lean Manufacturing to be extended

to the Total Supply Chain so our customers achieve the maximum benefits.


Why Choose Us? The key strengths that differentiate

us from other providers!

Our key strengths differentiate us from the other providers.

TAILORED SERVICES

Depending on what stage you are in product development, we tailor services that meet your company needs to ensure

a successful product launch and introduction into the global marketplace.

VALUED EXPERIENCE

All customers are not the same. Depending on company size, experience, and skillset, we provide customers with

valuable experience required to ensure critical product development activities and schedule milestones are achieved.

In the early development stage, we can review your product and provide an accurate product cost and recommend

cost reductions in material, and assembly / test labor to ensure your target product cost is achieved.

ATTENTION AND FOCUS

Unlike Tier 1 & Tier 2 service providers, where Mature companies with stable products and steady revenue growth are

desirable and Startup companies with changing products and unstable revenue growth are undesirable, the focus and

attention your company receives is directly related to your revenue size.

We develop strategic sourcing strategies and supply chains that ensure all customers are a top priority. We realize

that customers require different levels of focus and attention.

SUPPLIER PARTNERSHIPS

We have been establishing partnerships with Asian suppliers for over 10 years. These relationships are based on high

quality standards, low production costs, exceptional on-time delivery, scalable production capacity, high manufacturing

expertise, and efficient manufacturing.

If your product requires new and advanced manufacturing processes, we have the network in place to source

suppliers to meet the customer's needs.


Why Choose Us? (Cont.)

DIRECT PROCUREMENT

Many Tier 1 and Tier 2 service providers source components from distributors. In doing so, their pricing

competitiveness diminishes regardless of their volume purchasing power.

We purchase and negotiate pricing directly with commercial and custom component manufacturers. This improves the

robustness of the supply chain and translates directly into improved lead times and cost savings for the customer. The

end result is we can provide more competitive pricing.

FLEXIBLE AND RESPONSIVE

Through direct procurement and established supplier partnerships, we are more flexible than many Tier 1 and Tier 2

service providers to scale operations upward and downward in response to the customer's demand. In dealing directly

with the manufacturers and the factories that produce the components, we have a significant advantage in dealing with

demand volatility. Supplier capacity can be allocated or deallocated more efficiently. We maintain short lead times that

minimize exposure to excess and obsolete inventory. All critical in meeting timely product launch, ramp, and volume

production requirements for a global marketplace.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY (IP) PROTECTION

We alleviate the customer's concerns regarding Intellectual Property (IP) protection by dealing with reputable suppliers

thru Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDA). To migrate the risk, we develop supply chains that ensure no one supplier

has access to all IP required to produce the product.

GOVERNMENT FUNDING, GRANTS, AND TAX CREDITS

We enable your company to maximize the benefits of government tax credits, funding, and grants available to start-up

and small / medium sized businesses engaged in research and development; product innovation, development, and

commercialization; and productivity improvement.

Tax credits include Industrial Research Assistance Program (IRAP), Scientific Research & Experimental Development

(SR&ED) Program, and Federal Capital - Machinery & Equipment Cost Allowances.

Funding and grant programs include Advanced Manufacturing Fund (AMF), Automotive Supplier Innovation Program

(ASIP), Build In Canada Innovation Program (BCIP), Canada Small Business Financing Program, CME SMART

Advanced Technologies for Growth Fund, Eastern Ontario Development Fund (EODF), Investing In Business

Innovation (IBI) Program, Investing in Business Growth and Productivity (IBGP) Program, Investing in Regional

Diversification (IRD) Program, IRAP Accelerated Review Process (ARP) Grant, IRAP Mid-Size Projects Fund, MaRS –

Investment Accelerator Fund (AIF), SD Tech Fund, and Southern Ontario Fund for Investment in Innovation (SOFII),
