A company's profitability depends, in part, on operational improvements. In a new demand scenario, a company's operations must adapt, including those linked to the supply chain, personnel and back office, and make the most of the opportunities offered by digitalisation to gain efficiency.
- Aligning the sales plan with the operating and financial plan (review of demand and production plans, sizing and financing needs).
- Supply chain optimisation:
- Procurement and purchasing: raw materials, secondary materials, outsourced services, maintenance.
- Analysis of the current supplier network and the main short-term reorganisation alternatives.
- Production processes: workforce resizing and stock reduction based on demand models and service levels.
- Logistics processes: transport and storage of raw materials, work-in-progress and finished goods inventories.
- Workforce restructuring: defining a target size consistent with the company's level of activity, including organisational chart design.
- Cost reduction: zero-based analysis of external costs, resizing needs, consolidating suppliers, renegotiating terms, etc., delivering quick impacts on the income statement.
- Digitalisation of the operating model, improving processes with agile, quick-to-implement solutions that translate into reductions in personnel or contracted services.
- Support throughout the implementation of changes, building joint teams with clients and getting directly involved in delivering results effectively.
