Turnaround via site consolidation in the automotive sector

Like so many companies who have expanded their geographical reach over time, an automotive supplier was suffering due to the way their production activities were distributed, with a high proportion of their activities in high-wage countries. As efficiency and competitiveness had fallen by the wayside, we developed a strategy enabling the company to consolidate their locations and drafted accompanying plans to relocate production activities and facilities. We provided intensive support for the first steps of this process and proved that our plans could actually work in practice. This built confidence in our strategy and enabled our client to complete the consolidation process themselves.
