Discovering
hidden profit
Increase
Stakeholder value in the innovation of a low cost
position.
Sustaining
and continuously lowering the cost position while
meeting environmental and social responsibilities is an
imperative for all businesses in today's marketplace. Achieving a low cost
position improves stakeholder value, drives growth by
freeing up capital to invest in innovation and new
product development, and offers additional pricing
opportunities.
The
ability to mitigate supply chain risk while
controlling costs is no longer optional. In this new
"instant" global marketplace, having a low cost
position can be the difference between being a
leader or an acquisition target. Industry leaders have
the greatest potential to achieve value from agility
in their supply chain - from product development to
sales and marketing to operations.
Over
the years, WGA has worked with clients from a number of
industries to help them identify and remove
no-value costs and take full advantage of the
savings from the supply chain. Typically our clients
achieve an enduring savings of 10% to 19%. Our
method is complex but our execution simple, which
differs dramatically from the academic approach to most
cost cutting strategies such as identifying "low
hanging fruit" and the "the longest pole
in the tent". We take a wide view of cost
containment and cost reduction opportunities to identify
and focus our joint effort on all the highest value
opportunities.
Our diagnostic assessment is adapted to the way you run
your business and best practices in your industry. Then
we evaluate the value of products and services
related to your customers, and ensure costs are properly
aligned and transparent. Next, we architect your
operations,
regardless of the SCM systems you are using,
SAP,
Oracle,
PeopleSoft, or
JD Edwards, supply chain and manufacturing capabilities,
and execute the transformation.
