Manufacturing
We define and implement cutting-edge solutions to increase the efficiency and flexibility of manufacturing operations
Manufacturing operations at the
highest level of excellence
The growing challenges faced by manufacturing operations put organizations under strong pressure to meet conflicting objectives.
We employ our collaborative methodology to team up with our clients and promote the changes necessary to obtain more agile, resilient and efficient operations.
• Technology and Smart Manufacturing: we start by analyzing the potential benefits to ensure the development of solid and rigorous business cases that result in a positive impact for shareholders.
• Operational Excellence: we partner with our clients in programs to increase productivity, implement lean practices, reduce costs, develop skills, and implement advanced planning.
• Sourcing, risks and complexity: we provide an external and comprehensive perspective to help our clients manage risk and complexity, from product development to retirement.
Smart Manufacturing
The technologies of the fourth industrial revolution enable new levels of automation and intercommunication, and open up opportunities for improvements in production efficiency and responsiveness. We help our clients identify the value to be captured by adopting Smart Manufacturing tools, develop the business case for the necessary investments and drive the technological implementation to improve their production and maintenance operations.
Productivity and Operational Excellence
The identification of new opportunities to improve productivity frequently requires an external view, from people not participating in the process, who see what is there but goes unnoticed. We collaborate with our clients in programs of operational excellence, increased productivity and implementation of lean practices in production plants, warehouses and logistics operations.
Cost Reduction
We combine our expertise in Procurement and Sourcing with a challenging mindset to identify cost reduction opportunities. We provide alternatives built from the collaboration of several functional areas, with a special focus on reducing hidden costs.
Training and Skill Development
As technologies and business models evolve, companies experience a radical change in the skills required to thrive and grow. We help people and organizations gain, improve, and retain the skills and knowledge needed to do a great job and improve results.
Product Development
Based on a comprehensive view, we help our clients implement a product development methodology that increases their agility and allows them to manage the complexity of the portfolio. Together we build capabilities to improve profits and offer the products that the market needs, in an innovative way.
Operational Risk Management
Organizations are constantly exposed to risks from both external events and internal processes, people and systems. We assist our clients in managing operational risks through the implementation of identification, evaluation and mitigation strategies that match their level of risk tolerance.
Sustainability of Operations
The commitment to sustainability in its social and environmental dimensions demands updating and fast scaling the sustainability initiatives linked to manufacturing operations. We collaborate with our clients in the definition of the path and the implementation of the initiatives that will allow them to increase the positive impact of their manufacturing operations.
Outsourcing Strategy
The instability of global supply chains forces organizations to revisit the question: make or buy? We help our clients with a rigorous process of redefining their outsourcing strategy, selecting the model and choosing the right partners, so that they obtain an outstanding combination of benefits and risk exposure.
Advanced Planning and Scheduling
The improvement of OEE levels and the adequate exploitation of manufacturing assets depend to a large extent on complete solutions for production planning and scheduling. We help our clients adopt cutting-edge technology and processes to achieve higher levels of asset effectiveness.
Long Term Capacity Planning
We use the latest demand forecasting and simulation techniques to help our clients conduct robust long-term capacity planning. We evaluate and prioritize the necessary investments or divestments to improve the return for shareholders.
