Manufacturing Companies
You Are Producing.
Are You Profiting?
Manufacturing owners often have strong revenue and weak margins. Cole Corrigan works directly with product and manufacturing businesses to find where the money is going and build a business that does not run entirely through the owner.
What manufacturing owners tell Cole
The problems that keep showing up
Revenue is up but profit is not moving
You are producing more than ever. The top line looks good. But when you look at what is actually left over, the number does not match the effort. Material costs, labor inefficiency, and overhead are absorbing the gains.
You do not know your real cost per unit
You have a sense of what things cost to make, but the number is not precise. When a customer pushes back on price, you are not sure how far you can move without losing money. You are pricing on feel, not on data.
Cash is tied up in inventory and receivables
The money is in the building - in raw materials, work in progress, and finished goods waiting to ship. Meanwhile, customers are slow to pay. You are cash-poor even when the business is technically profitable.
The floor runs you instead of the other way around
Production problems pull you in every day. Scheduling, quality issues, equipment downtime, staffing gaps - you are managing the floor instead of managing the business. Growth is not possible when you are stuck in operations.
What a Business Analysis covers
A direct look at your numbers
Cost of goods and unit economics
What does it actually cost to produce your product? Are your prices built on real numbers or estimates?
Inventory and working capital
How much cash is tied up in materials and finished goods? What is the carrying cost and how does it affect your cash position?
Overhead allocation
Are your fixed costs - facility, equipment, admin - properly allocated to your products and priced accordingly?
Labor efficiency and burden
What is your real labor cost per unit including burden? Where are the inefficiencies in your production process?
Customer and product mix
Which customers and product lines are actually profitable? Are you spending capacity on work that does not pay?
Owner and management dependency
What decisions and processes require you personally? Where are the systems gaps that limit your ability to scale?
