We invite you to self-assess each category below
We look at materials, warehousing, movements such as shipping, road and rail and manufacturing. Whether you have a lab or move resources we have experience in operations designed to streamline delivery of product to your clients at low cost.
Your core operating assets, other assets, real estate, offices and leases are identified and analyzed to see where reductions and divestments are possible and over what time and cost to do so.
Options to divest certain functions are reviewed along with cost saving analysis. Tendering advice can also be provided.
We have extensive offshoring experience in multiple locations. Staff work your hours and multiple cost scenarios will be presented. When we consider these tactics, we also redesign roles and tasks such that onshore staff can be left with higher order functions or important client facing ones. Near shore and consolidation of your existing geographic locations are also considered.
We will look at your procurement controls, centralization of the procurement function and lifecycle spend management. We examine the structure, controls and perform a financial analysis. We then also consider aggregate spend and recommend suppliers where license or service negotiations could be undertaken.
Your architecture and applications represent a large and unique cost category. These tools support and protect your business as well as help grow it. We examine the optimal structure and applications needed for your business now and into the future. Recommendations typically involve sunset clauses for redundant or duplicated applications, alternative structures and a framework for lifecycle cost management.
Your people, whether employees, contractors or outsourced providers are key to operations and leadership. Over time, or resulting from M&A, tasks can become redundant or duplicated or not fit with future direction. Through job analysis, surveys and report reviews, we pinpoint these. We are also to perform salary benchmarking, role automation and, hiring in other locations. Risk and other support roles more focus.
This focus is solely on the ability to replace and enhance roles using Artificial Intelligence. By examining tasks and your technology stack, we find faster and lower cost options that typically also enhance data assets.
Your structure needs to support existing and future state. Reporting lines, Integration of divisions, and merging of operations are examined to identify more optimal structures.
Over time and through financial analysis we look at spend categories and report these to you. Discretionary spend and spend variations are a focus of this and the analysis helps to determine quick wins as well as inform the Procurement and Negotiations step.
