The Client

The world’s leading survival technology company serving the military, marine, aerospace and homeland security markets

The Challenge

Having been acquired by a Venture Capitalist, had a major drive to reduce costs and improve profitability. Logistics accounted for 8% of total costs and had, until now, never been managed. To further improve profitability, our client also undertook a complete review of the manufacturing footprint and required support and advice on logistics options and related costs.

The Solution

Using statistical analysis and understanding operational methodology, our team identified significant short, medium and  long term opportunities where savings and improvements could be achieved using improved business practices.
Following a review of all suppliers, key preferred suppliers were identified, reviewed and selected so as to achieve more effective logistics for the business at reduced costs.

The Results
Options for savings in excess of 30% were identified and processes are being implemented to deliver maximum benefit within shortest timescale.
