- Profitability Improvement: OEE
A global producer of release liners who was experiencing profitability issues following a sharp drop in demand post COVID-19. The private equity sponsor required EBITDA to increase from 12 to 20% to exit their position and had already been delayed by two years.
We conducted process analyses, role and line studies, procurement benchmarking to uncover issues with SIOP, procurement spend, and plant operations that could be addressed collaboratively with their team. Implementation resulted in near-immediate savings to the client, limiting out-of-pocket cost over a 9-month project.
