Manufacturing Industry In-plants Close To The Core

Briggs and Stratton's in-plant also produces the printed material that accompanies the firm's products. Whereas many in-plants don't know what the next job might be, explains Pavletich, her shop produces the same material day in and day out. Manufacturing in-plants can use this repetition to their benefit. Any purchase Pavletich makes, she says, likely will save money on a job the facility is already producing. That makes it easier to cost-justify new equipment.
