The heartbeat of any business is its operations; this is what makes it tick. Operations are the enablers of profit and cash generation – and the key drivers of enhancing shareholder value.
All organisations have Operations. At Brooklands CG we believe that effective strategies can only be delivered through operational excellence – an effective blend of process, organisation and technical know how.
Central to the value enhancement challenge is the understanding of the key linkages to Strategy Implementation, Organisation Design and Cost Challenge, taking a holistic approach to business success. Working with our clients, we tune the critical parts to optimise results – balancing internal and external factors, breaking down departmental and functional silos and integrating processes across boundaries.
At Brooklands CG, we work with our clients to identify and quantify opportunities for improvement, and jointly review the whole order to cash process:
-
To really understand the business model used and its appropriateness - its strengths, weaknesses, threats and opportunities
-
To assess the real working capital issues, the planning strategies and the product/service offering
-
To understand the real costs of complexity
In order to reduce cash invested, shorten lead times and improve profitability, we facilitate debate and address key dynamics such as:
-
Product portfolio in terms of profitability, product life cycle and inventory risk
-
Inventory in terms of actual performance and service levels
-
Customer portfolio in terms of affordability of customers and segments
-
Supplier portfolio in terms of deals and best costing
We have experience of working on projects in a wide range of operations areas, including:
- Cost Planning and Management
- Resource Planning
- Manufacturing Efficiency – including multi-site
- Flexible Manning
