Industrial Strategy, Operating Model & Transformation
Industrial leaders face growing uncertainty, margin pressure, and increasingly complex value chains. EFESO helps you define a clear industrial strategy and operating model that strengthen resilience and deliver measurable performance.
Compete and Win in a Changing World
A fast-changing global economy, increasing market uncertainty, and ongoing margin pressure are forcing many companies to rethink their industrial strategy and operating model. Product and market strategies must be realigned, value creation networks adapted, and organizational structures redesigned to remain competitive.
Defining a robust industrial strategy requires clear choices. This often starts with realigning the product portfolio and translating market and customer requirements into scalable product designs. Many value creation networks have grown historically and now require redesign. Focusing on core competencies, defining a value-competitive make-or-buy strategy, and building a resilient production and supply chain network are critical foundations.
In parallel, smart technology, automation, and a clear digitalization roadmap are essential. Successful execution ultimately depends on an effective organization that puts people, roles, and culture at the center.

A Tailored and Pragmatic Approach that Fits your Reality
Our projects are structured around three phases: analysis, concept, and implementation.
In the analysis phase, we review manufacturing footprint, products, processes, and capacities using top-down benchmarking and bottom-up asset analysis. We visit sites, meet purchasing heads, and engage functions like engineering, quality, and logistics to identify cost-reduction opportunities and centralization options.
The concept phase, lasting two to three months, is developed with the client, addressing automation, digitalization, technology choices, and practical toolsets.
Finally, in implementation, we help roll out prioritized measures aligned with client goals, focusing on the most impactful actions.
