THE NEED
Bottling plant was performing inefficiently yielding poor inventory turns, late deliveries, and significant scrap. Management team
wanted to increase profitability by improving operational absorption thus opening up excess capacity to eliminate the need for plant expansion.
ROLE
• Led the lean transformation of this 40-year-old firm with the goal of improved capacity utilization.
• Restructured plant operations to consolidate operations to reduce direct and indirect labor.
As the Detroit 3 automotive OEMÂ’s continue to restructure, the impact on the Tier 1 suppliers has become increasingly critical. Multiple articles have been written detailing the plight of these large enterprises. But what about the smaller
firms, the Tier 2 and Tier 3 mid-market companies? What trauma are they experiencing as a result of their shrinking customer base? Of equal importance, how do lending institutions and private equity investors evaluate these firms when familiarity with their product, operations, and human infrastructure is limited?
Beyond the obvious financial criterion, smaller companies operations can be evaluated on four attributes to truly critique viability. The areas are: human infrastructure, sales pipeline, processing excellence, and in-bound and out-bound contracts. Successful firms excel in all
four areas.
Human infrastructure is the leading indicator of success for any mid-market automotive supplier. In 1994, Jim Collins and Jerry Porras wrote the ubiquitous book Built To Last. The authors specifically selected the topic of organizational design and human resources (human infrastructure) as their leading topic. This selection was no accident; their research clearly indicated the leading edge relevance of human infrastructure. Similar to virtually all business organizations, the human infrastructure variable is critical to the operational success of Tier 2 & 3 companies.
