OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT
Businesses today are under pressure to do more with less. Consumers want more personalization at lower costs. Investors are demanding stronger revenue growth but sooner and with less capital. Leading companies are confronting these challenges by launching aggressive new programs to modernize their supply chains, improve manufacturing efficiency, and speed up product development. Our teams have both management and consulting experience along the entire manufacturing and supply chain to help companies create and sustain value.
Our services include:
- Manufacturing/distribution footprint optimization: We provide pragmatic, scenario-based solutions that take into account the impact on transportation, warehousing, labor, inventory, raw materials, and other areas to help businesses strike the right balance between service and cost.
- End-to-end supply chain transformation: We offer an end-to-end view of the supply chain, in which every function is part of an interconnected network. With this perspective, we work to optimize the supply chain as a whole.
- Rapid manufacturing plant improvement/turnaround: Using advanced proprietary tools and techniques, we rapidly assess, value, and prioritize risks and opportunities.
- Demand-driven supply chain management: We apply tried-and-true S&OP fundamentals in combination with applicable analytics and tools to help companies improve sales, cut operating costs, and reduce inventory.
- Working capital optimization: Our structured approach addresses short-term opportunities as well as long-term improvement to fundamentals, while balancing against the demands of other objectives like topline growth.
- Product development and product life cycle management: We help businesses increase sales through innovation by reducing product costs through smart design and better materials sourcing.
