Productivity & Cost Management
The increase in the complexity of the markets and the presence of higher and higher competition levels force companies to perform a careful monitoring and a consequent optimisation of their manufacturing and supply chain processes so as to guarantee greater and greater margins.The companies that are capable of maximising and reaching their full potential in this field are focused on Cost Effectiveness Management, interpreting said optimisation in a “winning” way and not limiting themselves to capture the short-term business value (Cost killing).
Thus, the overall performance improvement is one of our main values and we often translate our commitment in this field so as to tie our remunerations to clients’ achieved results.
The variety of our tools, combined with our ability to learn and transfer know-how across different sectors enable us to help companies optimise their manufacturing processes and reduce costs with the following methods:
- Cost killing: purchase cost reduction within the single organisational functions, by activity clusters and partial or separate subprocesses
- Total cost of ownership: Total Cost reduction of the single purchase process, focused on the optimisation not only of purchase costs, but also of all those “hidden” costs incurred by the company in order to make the asset/service available to users
- Cost effectiveness: permanent improvement system of the effectiveness in cost utilisation, focused on cross-functional processes and on the drivers generating results
- Rationalisation of the integrated logistic cycle: creation and integrated management of the logistic supply and distribution chain
- Control models and Tableau de Board: design and implementation of qualitative and quantitative information planning and control tools related to business activities
- Operational benchmarking: identification of critical areas/activities, identification and comparison between the various organisational and management solutions, quantification of the impact in terms of performance of the various manufacturing factors
- Staff sizing: identification and development of the organisational efficiency through analysis and alignment of the organisational structure
