Eurosis Consulting works with senior executives on challenges like assessing overall manufacturing competitiveness, determining the status of manufacturing technology, defining the right make-versus-buy concepts, and establishing new global manufacturing networks. Equally importantly, we work with manufacturing communities on developing production systems, especially in industries where these are traditionally not common. We also drive cost-improvement programs in uncompetitive plants, and improve quality or throughput with clients wherever circumstances require it.
Solutions
With a focus on production excellence, we help minimize costs, increase efficiency, improve quality, and deliver measurable improvements in all areas of manufacturing. We take a holistic approach, addressing strategic challenges, core processes and capabilities, performance management, and cross-functional alignment.
These are some of our primary focus areas:
Network Strategy:
By analyzing manufacturing costs and drivers, we can identify key differences among plants and locations. We help companies build optimized production networks that can reduce total manufacturing costs and deliver major improvements in resource utilization, asset productivity, and output.
Manufacturing Operations: We help our clients streamline production processes, boost efficiency and utilization, reduce costs, optimize the shop floor using proven lean techniques, increase flexibility, and ensure consistency and knowledge sharing across all operations.
Manufacturing Strategy:
Focusing on overall corporate strategy, we help clients make key decisions such as which products to make and which to buy. We take into account competitive differentiators, core competencies, the supply chain, target markets, cost structure, and sourcing options.
We provide strategic advice to help clients design fast, flexible, and efficient manufacturing processes that connect supply chain to factory processes, production equipment, and production systems in a seamless, customer-centric network.
