From operational strain to performance gains
After acquiring a new business unit, a global food processor faced major operational hurdles that risked revenue, service levels, and profitability. Fragmented processes, low inventory accuracy, and limited visibility across functions slowed them down just when they needed to scale. In close partnership with leadership, we mobilized fast—launching a PMO in two weeks and implementing cross-functional improvements across operations. Together, we increased production efficiency through OEE projects, introduced plant-level inventory controls, established a sales and operations execution process, and optimized order fulfillment. Within six months, the unit increased its peak monthly revenue run rate by $2.7 million, cut variable labor costs by $3.8 million annually, and improved inventory accuracy by 55 percentage points—building a stronger, more scalable operation for the future.
