Client situation & approach
Our client is one of the biggest French Groups in the cosmetics industry, with around ten production units in France. In a challenging economic context (strong competition, productivity concerns and consumer fear towards industrial products…), the Operations Top Management aims to design a new Industrial Master Plan (IMP) to cover the period up to 2030:
In the short term it wishes to optimize the current IMP i.e. reduction of complexity, optimization of flows and processes.
In the long run it needs to build a more efficient model to sustain growth at a competitive cost.
EFESO supported by:
- Defining the long-term vision and goals with Operations Top Management
- Mapping and analysing the current situation
- Defining the core competencies required to support the 2030 plan: new technology and capabilities
- Defining performance levers for the current organization: cost reduction, complexity management, new target operating model for several functions (e.g. quality control, maintenance)
- Defining and evaluating 4 distinct scenarios, considering several variables
