Manufacturing

Effective to Optimal
Innovate Manufacturing to enable business value and agility

It is generally accepted that manufacturing is a key function which directly impacts a company's cost position and its ability to meet customers' demands. Today, businesses are focused on improving manufacturing efficiency because many know their operations are far from optimal. The root cause of this issue is that managers focus specifically on one element of manufacturing rather than the entire operation or organization. WGA's takes a more holistic approach in looking at manufacturing as an integral part of the fabric of the organization in order to:

WGA helps clients to, regardless of the ERP, MRP, SCM or MES systems you are using, SAP, Oracle, PeopleSoft, JD Edwards

  • Optimize the shop floor

  • Ensure simple and transparent links between the supply chain and manufacturing

  • Align the entire manufacturing enterprise to enable
    the overall business strategy

  • Reduce the inter-dependencies between manufacturing and product complexity

  • Select the right sourcing for non-core / commodity activities

  • Transform the manufacturing footprint based on clients' geographical, customer and commercial needs

Through these methods, WGA delivers client-sustainable and enduring changes that transform manufacturing operations into a competitive differentiator.

WGA uses a rich set of methods and tools to conduct an enterprise-wide analysis of our clients' current state, starting with the market place, competitive position, and total cost position.  We identify key performance metrics and practices, then benchmark them to industry and competitor specific practices.  Our approach considers that all aspects of our client's manufacturing should be challenged in order to understand, decouple, and unleash its value.  We identify the opportunities, quantify the value, help develop detailed solutions, and then execute the change for our clients.
