We improve the performance of your organization<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whether fragile supply chains, higher inflation and factor costs, heightened sales risks or changed regulatory requirements \u2013 producers of packaged foods, health and care products fact a wide range of challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And to the same degree as an after-effect of the past few years, uncertainty is increasing for consumers, their willingness to pay is also decreasing. In the process, demand regularly shifts toward more affordable products, own brands, and generics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, companies are coming under pressure from innovative, fast-growing niche suppliers or due to new, disruptive technologies. Examples of this are personalized pharmaceutical products or even raw materials produced using biotech, such as proteins stemming from precision fermentation for the foods industry. And our industry like virtually no other is also under public scrutiny in regard to the expectations of social and sustainable responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We provide the support you need to overcome all of these challenges \u2013 from setting a strategic course to its operational implementation: safeguarding profitability, investing purposefully and wisely, making bold use of the opportunities that present themselves.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

        Beauty Care Industry<\/h3>\n

        We helped our client, a producer of beauty and care products, reduce external procurement costs considerably. In taking a global approach, all purchased direct and indirect materials and services were scrutinized, initiatives to cut costs were prioritized and successfully implemented. In addition to realized costs savings in excess of \u20ac\u00a0100m, together we were able to introduce numerous improvements in strategy, organization, processes, methods, and systems and anchor them within the company as part of change management.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n

        Our client is an international foods group with production locations in over 90 countries. Every consumer is familiar with the group\u2019s brands and products. With our structured approach to evaluating and optimizing the production strategy and production network, we helped the group manage and focus its investment activities. The net cash value of the cost savings achieved and optimized investments amounted to over US$ 500m. The production strategy was also aligned for the long term.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n

        Pharma Industry<\/h3>\n

        Our client, a major player in the pharmaceutical and health industry, noted a deterioration in the standard of quality of several key suppliers. The quality strategy adopted focused less on anchoring the zero-defect principle than on compliance with regulatory requirements. Together we implemented reactive and preventive supplier management with clear assignment of roles and responsibilities by defining the processes, implementing them at an organizational level and training teams. This resulted in a considerable decrease in non-conformities over a period of two years.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n
