The IW Solution for Mexico
If you're a manufacturer who ships products to Mexico, you're probably familiar with the QC problems that can crop up unexpectedly. And you've no doubt heard (or lived!) the war stories that result when suppliers try to implement "American" solutions at Mexican plants. Negotiating doesn't work. Sending your own representatives doesn't help. And hiring a third-party "man in Mexico" to represent your interests may cause more problems than it solves.
Let's face it, even though they're right next door, Mexico is a foreign country. And obtaining a complete understanding of a foreign culture can take time.
That's where Industrial Workforce can help your company.
Breaking Down Barriers
The foremost objective in the IW solution is helping you build meaningful, enduring relationships between your company and your Mexican customers. Our success stems from the fact that IW is a Mexican-American joint venture. Our parent company is in America, and our Mexican representatives are natives to Mexico who understand the culture, work procedures and approach to plant operations.
As your partner, we assign a Mexican representative to be on hand to receive shipments at your customers' Mexican plants. Your representative will work with Mexican plant management to:
- Assess problems with incoming shipments
- Inspect and sort
- Take necessary action, such as reworking
- Negotiate to ensure that delivery is accepted
Building Relationships
With IW as your partner, your company is part of the process at every step. We provide complete reports detailing all actions taken by your IW representative. We're in constant contact to establish open lines of communication and keep you abreast of any problems - and the progress toward solving them.
When you visit your customers' Mexican plants, your IW representative is on hand to facilitate communication and help you build a strong working relationship. Our job is to help you forge a bond between your company and your Mexican customers. Sound like we're trying to put ourselves out of a job? To be honest, if we do our job well, that's exactly what can happen! Your company will have the knowledge, experience and relationships to interact comfortably and confidently with Mexican plant management and staff. And that will reflect in decreased rejected parts per million (RPPM), improved Supplier Score Card percentages and, most importantly, in your bottom line.
