Your challenge:

You know your markets. You are already serving them with your other product lines. You have a product concept, and you know what volume you can move if you can hit the needed quality, availability and cost targets. But…

• You have limited internal engineering and design resources.
• There is no way you can hit the needed price point if you manufacture internally, or contract manufacture domestically.
• You need a tariff-neutral manufacturing location(s) to future-proof your global market reach and competitiveness.
• You don’t have the language, culture or country industry knowledge required to execute a comprehensive multi-country vendor search.
• You don’t have the staff or budget to spend six to twelve months overseas searching out and qualifying offshore manufacturers.
• Even if you did, how do you know what their performance and reliability will be over time?
• You have limited experience developing the comprehensive design packages and process guidelines that are required for successful offshore contract manufacturing.
• You don’t have the language skills to translate a comprehensive design package and process guide to avoid confusion and error by the selected contract manufacturer.
• You don’t have the staff or budget to have the necessary permanent boots-on-the-ground at your chosen CM to ensure quality before the product goes into the container.

The big boys do this all day long, but how can a Small to Medium Sized Business safely leverage a fantastic idea into a global success with inherently limited resources?

REDUxEngineering’s REDUxCOMPLETE^TM service provides SMBs in North America, Western Europe and Australia a simple, sustainable, safe and cost-effective way to achieve long-term new product success with limited up-front costs and long term supply and price point security.

This unique hybrid fee-for-service engineering design and contingency-based managed offshore manufacturing model provides clients with an initial fee-based world class product design engineering team who take the project from concept, ideation and prototyping to small batch production.

Once the product is moving to the distribution channels and volume demand is safely and predictably gaining momentum, the project shifts gears to the contingency-based productization phase with design for manufacturing, material science, design for logistics and design for inspection cost -reduction refinements to the design, followed by managed offshoring savings for volume, low-cost/high quality commercialization.

• REDUxEngineering (https://reduxengineering.com/ ) provides our clients with world-class flex engineering design services from concept, ideation and prototyping to small batch production through our partnership with Misty West Engineering in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Misty West is a design engineering firm who specializes in accelerating the development of technical products across sectors like mining, clean technology, and smart infrastructure. Their expertise encompasses embedded intelligence, deep tech, and connected sensors, enabling clients to bring reliable, market-ready solutions to fruition efficiently. By focusing on high-risk research and development, Misty West empowers organizations to transition seamlessly from concept to field deployment, driving innovation and sustainability in today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape.
• When the product project shifts gears to the contingency-based productization phase the REDUxEngineering team provides design for manufacturing inputs that add another layer of savings to your new managed global supply chain strategy by optimizing your design for shipping, inspection and assembly.
• REDUxEngineering has a global network of pre-vetted contract manufacturers, across plastic, metal, and electrical, in multiple tariff-free zones saving you months of expensive qualification efforts.
• We also have quality audit staff on the ground at these locations to ensure the product going into the container meets your requirements, saving you headcount.
• REDUxEngineering supports your staff in any contract manufacturer engagement allowing you to safely and nimbly access multiple markets without the associated costly overhead.

Your fee-based design engineering costs are minimized by leveraging Misty West’s highly competitive engineering service rates that are billed out in Canadian dollars. As you move to the REDUxEngineering contingency-based DFM and managed offshoring services, they are based on the percentage savings achieved over the domestic manufacturing costs established in the first phase. They are performance-based and spread out across the production runs as a component of the product COGS.

We are paid 20% of what we save you. If you don’t save, we are not paid.

What’s more, you never pay REDUxEngineering. There is never any extra expense to budget for. You validate what we have saved you and then authorize 20% of that savings to be added to the contract manufacturers price. REDUxEngineering is paid by the contract manufacturer, and only after you have banked the verified savings. You always save 4X what REDUxEngineering is paid.

With REDUxCOMPLETE^TM you can safely, and cost effectively design, develop, test and manufacture your product with large, highly specialized, pre-vetted contract manufacturers in tariff-free zones with minimal drain on your organization with little cost, time or risk. REDUx is there to support you as an extension of your supply chain and engineering strategy.

Case Study:

An electronics manufacturer based out of Texas wanted to enter a lower cost segment with a new variation on one of their popular product lines. Assuming a price point could be achieved, their distribution channel confirmed annual demand for 80,000 pcs. The printed circuit board assembly was targeted for direct offshoring and the REDUxCOMPLETE^TM process was launched with MistyWest completing the fee-based concept, ideation and prototyping and managed small batch production phase.

The distribution channel responded positively, as anticipated, and REDUxEngineering launched the contingency-based productization phase with design for manufacturing, material science, design for logistics and design for inspection cost-reduction refinements to the design, followed by managed offshoring savings for volume, low-cost/high quality volume manufacturing.

The project took eight months. The initial domestic PCBA production had a cost of $65 per unit. The optimized offshore product came in at a landed cost of $65 per unit or a 24% savings. The initial run of 80,000 units realized a savings, after REDUx, of $1,600,000 annually.
