What is a Shelter Program?

• A Shelter Program is a contractual relationship that gives a company the ability of establishing it's own operation in Mexico the fastest and most economical way possible.
  
  The Shelter provider is a company that is already well established, legal and working identity. It is a mature, efficient and successful identity with all the "infrastructure" and people in place. The provider takes in a client under its "umbrella" , gets it started quickly without the hassles associated in starting an operation.
  
  The client basically becomes a department of the Shelter, taking advantage of the infrastructure and talent already in place. The Shelter provides support and "protection" to its clients during the length of the contract, treating the client as its own .
  
  After the terms of the contract are up, usually 2-3 years. The client is well prepared to go on its own with the full assistance of the Shelter provider.
  
  A Shelter Program allows a company to quickly operate as a mature, efficient and successful business without having had to spend the years of time and effort to accomplish the same level of proficiency it would have had on its own.

What does a Shelter Program cost and how am I charged?

• The Shelter Program has a variable rate that is connected to the “worked” hours. This rate is reduced as your operation grows. This represents the gross sales revenue for Javid, LLC and supports all the functions you will see explained in more detail later in this information.
  
  Javid, LLC uses the payroll system to determine and track the hours worked and then invoices on a weekly basis its Shelter Fee.
  
  All other costs that your company incurs are invoiced to you weekly on an “actual cost” basis. Those costs include, but are not limited to, rent, utilities, Mexico procured supplies plus any associated sales, payroll or other taxes as dictated by Mexico law.
  
  Each week a Pre-Invoice is made with the total of all the expenses and presented to the client's manager. Copies of payrolls and all invoices are attached for the client to review and approve. Once the Pre-Invoice is approved an invoice is generated and sent to the client with all the necessary back-up.

What o I save in a Shelter Program?

• The Shelter Program saves you money. Depending on the size of your operation and the contract structure of your Shelter Program you could save thousands of dollars on an annual basis compared to having the needed infrastructure on your payroll.
  
  The Shelter Program saves you time. You can spend all your available time managing your manufacturing operation while Javid manages all the activities needed to support your Mexico operation.
  
  The Shelter Program saves you worries. Javid’s experienced management staff insures you avoid any significant impacts to your manufacturing operation that could result in negative repercussions to you.
  
  The Shelter Program saves your customers. The competitive edge provided by your lower cost Mexico operation gives you a chance to actually reduce prices to your customers, something needed in today’s world.

What doesn't a Shelter Program Provide?

• The Shelter Program does not provide the day -to- day management of your manufacturing operation, or the activities that would be supported by your "home" operation.
  
  Javid does not control your operation the Shelter clients have 100% control over their materials, production and quality processes.
  
  What the client doesn't get are the hassles of managing all the support departments and the hassles of having to deal with the rules and regulations the Mexican government agencies require.

Why Javid’s Shelter Program?

• VALUES ! Javid prides itself in protecting the basic values that have provided the foundation for the company’s success over these past 24 years. Honesty, Quality and Cost Control are the core values we manage our business by.
  
  Javid’s ownership has extensive Shelter experience. Over 24 years management experience as a Shelter Customer and Service Provider aides Javid in having a unique focus as a current Service Provider. We fully understand the importance to have a contractual relationship that provides:
  Cost control for the customer. Our “no hidden cost, no surprise” approach to our Shelter Fee allows the customer the ability to alter their operation’s cost structure as they see fit.
  Flexible labor administration when/if your operation’s needs change. Javid will attempt to relocate personnel into, or out of, your operation in the event of any unanticipated swings in workload. Javid’s other Shelter and Subcontract operations provide the vehicle to accomplish this.
  Commitment to success. Javid has, and continues to seek, long-term business relationships to achieve its objectives. We understand the importance of each of our customers and strive to service them with that commitment to mutual success.
