Support an Agricultural Machinery Manufacturer in Defining an Industrial Plan

• A leader in the manufacture of agricultural machinery: viticulture, cellars, arboriculture
• A Group made up of 18 subsidiaries, more than 800 distributors and 5 production sites – two in France and three in the rest of Europe – where demand is highly seasonal. In addition to this, you need to know more about it.
• A saturated industrial tool that does not meet the expected growth of 50% in activity over the next 5 years. In addition to this, you need to know more about it.

• Absorb growth
• Improve the cost structure
• Increase customer satisfaction

• State of play:
  • Interviews with management teams
  • Visit of the 5 production sites,
  • Value stream mapping,
  • Capacity analyzes: production and storage
• Definition of the target: 5-year projection with sizing of surfaces – production, upstream / downstream storage – and machines by type of product
• Validation of macro production planning rules and upstream / current / PF inventory management
  Scenario modeling: ROI, WCR gains, productivity, stock, capacity, CAPEX and risks
• Validation of the target industrial footprint with optimization of the first identified CAPEX
• Roadmap industrial master plan:
  • Risk control plan
  • Gap analysis between current & target plan with definition of macro initiatives to be launched

• 1 scenario simulation model integrating:
  • Cost structure
  • Footprint by family
  • Risk analysis
• 5 scenario simulations on OPEX and CAPEX
• 5-year road map with prerequisites and governance

Duration of the assignment: 6 months
