オペレーションの卓越性

コロナ禍、ロシアのウクライナ侵攻、マクロ経済環境の不確実性に起因する混乱によって、企業がエンドツーエンドのオペレーションの卓越性を実現する重要性が浮き彫りになっています。BCGは、クライアントがオペレーションにおけるイノベーションを活用してオペレーションの卓越性という必須課題に対応できるよう支援します。

What is operational excellence? Operational excellence supercharges efficiency and effectiveness in key steps in the operations value chain—going beyond simple cost-cutting measures. End-to-end operational excellence can deliver impressive value for companies—including a 5% to 15% boost to EBITA; cost reductions of 5% to 10% in third-party procurement spending, 15% to 30% in operations overhead, and 10% to 25% in warehousing and distribution; as well as a 50% to 80% reduction in carbon footprint.

    Competitive Cost Advantage

    We help organizations respond to today's unprecedented uncertainty by building resilience through competitive cost advantage. Our new approach sets a clear mandate for action, seizing the opportunity to evaluate and achieve cost potential through organizational and operational lenses. Throughout each program, we enable clients to manage the change and ensure the organization feels ownership for sustaining cost savings. Competitive cost advantage enables companies to meet the urgent need to maintain or expand margins by becoming more cost efficient without sacrificing strategic capabilities and priorities such as climate and sustainability, digital, talent retention and acquisition, and upskilling.

    E2E SC optimization helps clients tackle supply chain challenges such as SKU complexity, inventory forecasting errors, supply disruption risk, unbalanced manufacturing footprints, and rising customer-service costs. Our operational excellence consulting experts start by helping clients develop a vision for their end-to-end supply chain, quantify the value potential, and prioritize improvement opportunities. We then work with them to define the operations required to achieve their business objectives. Finally, we help them implement pilots aimed at scoring quick wins that free up funds for future-state design efforts. Throughout, we deploy a suite of tools that support activities such as supply chain diagnostics, data governance, change management, and the deployment of digital solutions.

    BCG Advanced Network Optimization

    Advanced Network Optimization enables the supply chain to optimize the trade-offs between cost and service level, to determine the best feasible network strategy. The technique leverages models to simulate the supply chain network and run different scenarios by adjusting locations and routes that impact capital investment, capacity planning, and logistics operations. Powered by BCG X’s cutting-edge optimization algorithms, our Supply Network Optimization tool solves end-to-end supply chain problems quickly and optimally. Supply Network Optimization helps identify ideal factory and distribution center locations and fine-tune the overall network to build a resilient, sustainable, and cost-efficient product supply network.
