Experience Driven Consulting

Home

 

Our client successes span a variety of consulting service areas, but tend to center around performance improvement in a manufacturing, distribution or retail industry. These case studies provide a view into how clients have embraced change and obtained dramatic benefits:

bullet

Enterprise optimization - a manufacturer sought to transform their global supply chain, but encountered numerous obstacles until they developed an approach, system and process to create an enterprise view of the profitability implications of Sales and Operations Plans.

bullet

Lean manufacturing (build to order) - how do you improve customer service and market share for a make to stock production environment where forecasting can be near impossible and delivered lead times are critical to compete?

bullet

Lean manufacturing (make to stock) - faced with growing demand and expanding market share can be a good thing, until you seek to expand capacity and find out you had more "untapped" space than you thought.

bullet

Supply chain management - this is an example of how to take new views of supply chain with focused data analytics and process assessment. The results speak for themselves.

bullet

Forecasting and planning - consumer packaged goods industry struggles with demand forecasting and supply collaboration, here is a company that tamed the demand planning beast.

bullet

Performance Measures - during the merger integration of two similar companies, it became apparent the current measures were not reflecting the operational changes required for success.

bullet

Activity based costing (ABC) - a distributor sought better profitability data for their multiple customer channels to make strategic growth and customer pricing decisions. Sales growth and profitability followed.

These are a sample of the clients with successful results from operational transformation.
