Objectives:
We analyse manufacturing cost, labour productivity, operational complexity, scale and configuration to identify plants that are best performing strategic peers as well as local competitors. This, in conjunction with our 25+ years benchmarking experience enables participants to:
- Map the competitive position of manufacturing facilities by analysing manufacturing costs given the scale and complexity of the respective operations.
- Identify the activity areas of strength and improvement versus local competitors and best practice look-alike operations and quantify the financial prize of improvement initiatives.
- Design an evidence-based continuous improvement strategy that drives operational excellence.
Benefits:
The key benefit of the PIMS programme is a step up in performance that provides:
- Objective evidence of true competitive position regionally and globally
- Comprehensive understanding of process optimisation required to master complexity and be world-class
- Basis for analysing alternative future scenarios using experiences of peers who have been there
- Stimulus for change based on clear evidence versus real competitors under strict confidentiality.
