OUTSOURCING
Succinct Quality Engineering collaborates and outsources to a large number of preferred, accredited professional
and technical personnel with whom we have Service Level Agreements, Consortium Agreements and Non
Disclosure Agreements as needed in order to facilitate all projects within the scope of business as outlined herein.
BENEFITS OF OUTSOURCING:
Cost flexibility, as it is easier to increase or decrease
the cost, according to the needs. This is particularly
important in volatile times, when demand can go up or down
very quickly, and consequently organizations are generally
more cautious in employing new people.
Higher level of objectivity. An outside person is less likely
to fall under the influence of office politics and may bring an
independent and more objective view of what is better for the
organization. The lack of those blind spots, that each organi-
zation inevitably possesses, enables decisions that bring more
value to the organization.
More authoritative position of an outside expert. A
specialist from outside is sometimes viewed as a kind of a
know-it-all superman (sometimes not justifiably ;-)), so in
such cases people within organization can be more inclined to
agree with a course of action suggested by an outside expert
than with one suggested by their colleague from within the
organization. With time this bias tends to fade away as the
more realistic view sets in.
Experiences are brought from outside and they benefit
the organization. External experts usually work simultaneously
on other projects not related to this company and they bring these
experiences with them. This is not about intellectual capital being
stolen, of course. It is about learning from other areas and
applying these lessons within our company.
Possibility to negotiate with more providers. Competition is
a good thing. When there are more providers to choose from, they
try harder, and they work on improving their practice. Companies
can benefit from this by applying sound procurement procedures.
Exposure to newer methodologies being used by an
outside specialist. External specialists tend to invest more into
specific project management research, new technologies and
methodologies. Companies benefit from this without the need to
invest as much themselves.
Generally lower cost levels. Employment costs of professional
personnel are generally not in the lower categories. And it seems
that they are on the rise even when economy is going down, due to
demand on the job market which continues to rise.
WELDING CONSULTANCY
This service is intended to assist clients in selecting the
correct equipment, consumables, and process and production
