Is Outsourcing Right For You?
Nelson Miller Group listens carefully to your needs and communicates with honesty and transparency, so you always know where your project stands and what’s coming next.
Each project starts with a clean slate.
We approach each new project with a listening ear, formulating truly customized solutions that simplify supply chain management, mitigate supply chain risks, improve the bottom line, and add value for your organization. Our process is methodical and well-defined to ensure every project is properly and thoroughly thought out to meet each customer’s unique needs.
Discuss
Our customers are driven by a similar desire—to deliver the best product, for the best price, at the right time. Once we start to dig under the surface, however, each customer’s needs become increasingly different. Many tell us they have an interest in a combination of the following factors:
- Solving an engineering challenge
- Reducing costs
- Accessing new or additional talent
- Farming out activities that others can do better or more easily
- Increasing flexibility in their business model
- Addressing quality and lead time issues
Whatever your goals, NMG understands that each customer is unique. Starting out with an initial understanding of what drives you and what pain points we can help resolve provides a framework for more detailed discussions and solution development.

Develop
Informed by our prior conversations, the NMG team creates an initial proposal detailing the combination of products and services that we feel best suits your organization.
We leverage our knowledge of the industry, in-house engineering design expertise, broad-reaching supplier partnerships, and the most up-to-date best practices to craft a business plan unique to your company.
At this point, the project undergoes any necessary DFM work including design, review, modification, and approval.
As with the rest of the process, this isn’t a one-sided conversation. NMG works with you to co-create the solution that works best for your business and adds the most value during implementation and beyond.
