Restructuration / Operations
Ever since the dotcom crash and the unlimited prospects for growth that went with it, senior managers have refocused on their business fundamentals and their bottom line: excellence in operations has become an absolute priority.
Three major trends will also amplify this drive to focus:
- Increased pressure from competitors: globalization has encouraged the emergence of numerous low-cost players and new arrivals that use strong levers to stand apart - new value chain, outsourcing, offshoring, etc
- Enhanced customer expectations: information, comparison, selection… never before has the customer been in such a favorable position in an increasingly transparent environment. The balance of power has swung in favor of customers who have become extremely sophisticated
- Ever more services. This is the consequence, whether in BtoB or BtoC, in commodities and in technical specialties, the product must be accompanied by a package of personalized services that make the difference – joint supplier-customer development, adjusted timelines, volume flexibility, innovative financing, etc.
Advancy applies its expertise across the entire supply chain to help industry leaders further raise their level of operational excellence: lean manufacturing, product innovation and development, purchasing, production/maintenance, capital employed and SG&A.
