Manufacturing companies have become accustomed to repeated cost-cutting efforts to stabilise profits, address shareholders, and invest for the future. But cost reduction alone can stifle growth. The pressure for a new level of performance is high, along with the need to create a swifter path to growth and profitability.
Making fast, smart decisions hinges on focus. Aligning cost with strategy means transforming how businesses operate, weeding out operational inefficiencies and creating the capacity to invest in important growth priorities.The result: a stronger, leaner, more focused organisation primed for growth.
We help businesses transform to be strategically aligned with their priorities. We help create a “fit-for-growth” strategy, freeing up opportunities that support the company’s unique culture, capabilities and ambitions. We bring firsthand regional perspectives to help shape local or global operations strategies, including talent, tax, technology and regulations.
Industrial manufacturing companies are facing a number of headwinds, including a continued slowdown in growth, DTC brands, and increased pressure on margins. On top of that, the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) has finally come of age. 4IR is the era of artificial intelligence, genome editing, biometrics, 3D printing, IoT, renewable energy, and autonomous vehicles.
Against the backdrop of all this uncertainty and disruption, industrial manufacturing companies are addressing a growing set of challenges. Organisations must capitalise on changing trends and prepare their commercial organisations for growth and digitisation.
