Our operational value creation expertise
Our high-impact transformation (HiT) approach delivers sustainable value, prioritizing the operational methods that will move the needle and generate results quickly with improvements in five areas:
Procurement
We create transparency into category and supplier spend and drive down external spending by improving the procurement process, upskilling the purchasing organization, and analyzing opportunities in both direct and indirect spend.
Manufacturing
We generate sustainable direct cost reductions and improve service levels by enhancing operational productivity across key processes, delivering sustainable four-walls improvements.
Supply chain
We recommend structural changes to reduce costs in the distribution network and improve order fulfillment while enhancing productivity through warehouse four-walls and increased freight utilization.
General and administrative
We identify sustainable overhead efficiencies to reduce the company’s fixed cost structure by redesigning the operating model, opening up new opportunities for automation in the back office, and assessing indirect spend along with the potential for outsourcing or shared services.
IT and digital
We review the company’s IT landscape, operating model, and cost base to uncover high-value opportunities. Then, we implement digital tools and capabilities and consolidate IT infrastructure to deliver value not only in the tech stack but also across the whole business.
Net working capital
We assess the financial baseline and processes across the cash cycle to develop recommendations that improve liquidity, enhance asset efficiency, and strengthen the organization’s financial controls.
