Manufacturing
Our view of manufacturing
Your product, product lines, and base components determine your strategic direction. What will you make yourself and what will you buy from a supplier? What will your supply chain look like and how will you optimize it along with your manufacturing operations? Marrbery has expertise in the following areas:
Production strategy and organization
Includes a focus, a strategy not only to maximize profits, but also to achieve comprehensive strategic objectives.
Risk management and resilience
It is a standard designed to help large and small organizations in the public and private sector effectively manage operational risk.
Make or buy solutions
Decisions are made as to the use of their own means of labor
Understanding Opportunities
In the past, successful manufacturers optimized their operations for cost, quality and service. Today, however, the goals that manufacturers must pursue to remain competitive have changed. Major global trends require manufacturers to address three key strategic objectives: improving the value proposition, enhancing operational sustainability and achieving sustainability goals. Our research provides insight into how companies are currently prioritizing each of these goals.
What does MARRBERY offer in production?
Implementing digital transformation in industrial companies provides opportunities for our customers to discover, new technologies form the foundation of any digital transformation. Ideally, industrialists describe these opportunities in their roadmap, providing specific insights into various areas, including commercial backbone services, external interfaces, integration architecture, external and internal integration, digital development and operational platforms, software-as-a-service, custom (micro) services and data-intensive services. To facilitate rapid scaling, companies should try to leverage legacy systems while building new capabilities, rather than replacing them entirely.
Factory of the future
The factory of the future is a vision of how manufacturers should improve production by making improvements in three dimensions: enterprise structure, enterprise digitalization and enterprise processes.
Your product, product lines, and base components determine your strategic direction. What will you make yourself and what will you buy from a supplier? What will your supply chain look like and how will you optimize it along with your manufacturing operations.
You must decide not only where your factories and distribution centers are located, but also how they are optimized for features such as regulations, logistics, taxes, and duties. Marrbery helps clients make optimal decisions by analyzing future demand patterns, shipping and logistics cost factors, and production and supply chain needs.
Marrbery helps you assess your supply chain. We look at your global manufacturing operations through an integrated lens, and this comprehensive and holistic perspective ensures that everything from your lean manufacturing methods to your use of advanced robotics is world-class from start to finish.
Examples of our clients' work in the production sector
HOW: PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT
Marrbery focused on the "what" question: Should a company produce or buy certain products? To get a comprehensive answer, we evaluated the relative cost and strategic importance of parts and processes; modeled external prices; and then compared those projections with internal prices. As a result, our clients reduced costs in their manufacturing network by $4 million per year.
HOW: OPTIMIZE YOUR NETWORKS
A pharmaceutical company asked Marrbery to optimize its manufacturing network. When we identified the best places to outsource, the company was able to recover up to 35% of the cost of goods sold.
HOW: PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT
The challenge is to connect digital transformation with the overall enterprise strategy as it relates to key business metrics. We also help justify current goals and capital expenditures in the context of digital transformation.
