Globalised markets lead to continuously increasing challenges for a growing amount of companies each day. To secure sustainable growth, profitability and the value of your business the strategic orientation is the core lever. We support you with all strategic questions involving investment decisions, site studies, optimization of production networks and make-or-buy-analysis. Together we can direct the sails for a successful future of your business. Investment decisions In order to produce efficiently and accordingly to the market requirements of the future, it is necessary to consider investments thoroughly today. With our expertise we enable you to make the right decisions based on a well-founded analysis. Following the analysis of your current situation we compare the pros and cons of various investment alternatives. Based on the net present value method we evaluate the possibilities and select the optimum solution for your operation. Site studies The selection of the location or your site is a long-lasting decision that determines your site and a major part of your operative costs for many years. This decision has to be based on a profound analysis. We support you in the selection of potential site locations, we systematically compare location factors and evaluate the pros and cons of each solution based on a cost-benefit analysis. A comprehensive risk analysis and a general conception of the supply chain finalize our analysis. Together we select the appropriate location for your specific business requirements. Optimization of production networks Only within a synchronized value chain network the highest possible value can be created. We support you in the design and optimization of your value chain activities in interaction of your production sites. This entails the selection and expansion of sites, distribution of value chain activities and the optimization of the supply chain within and between the different production sites. Together we define the core competencies of the different sites and develop an integrated logistic network in order to allow for optimum delivery reliability for your customers. Make-or-buy analysis In lean production environments the degree of company-internal value-add has to be analyzed and defined. We apply efficient practices to quickly identify components or single parts that should be analyzed with the help of a comprehensive make-or-buy analysis. Potential savings are calculated by comparing internal production costs against qualified offers from external suppliers. An integrated approach compares production cost, logistic costs, transaction costs and potential quality and reliability of the external supplier. Thus we deliver a systematic decision matrix for you to select the future value chain. |
