Operating effectiveness

• Services:
• Development of strategy and business plan
• Management system and business processes
• Operating effectiveness

Even for emerging markets, like Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan, operating effectiveness becomes an imperative. Operating effectiveness includes not just a choice of effective production methods, but also compliance to the requirements of long-term sustainability and flexibility of the business. Our approach in this practice is based on:

• CHOICE OF THE BUSINESS MODEL

  We help our clients define processes and operations, where they possess best competencies and create maximum value. By creating the optimal combination between in-house and outsourced functions, and optimizing internal operations we help to pick the most effective business model.

• ANALYTICAL APPROACH

  Fact-based analysis is driving our recommendations, be it organizational or technological redesign or internal processes. Such data-driven approach helps us build accurate forecasts and implement defendable recommendations, which build value for our customers.

• TAILORED SOLUTIONS

  We use market best practices for process improvement and aim to adapt them as much as possible for specific client needs, depending on the type of production schedules and local market specifics.

• PRICING

  The impact of pricing decision on bottom line has been acutely felt by many companies in recent years. The onset of the global crisis has turned winners into bankrupt companies in a number of industries, and vice versa – some young entrants successfully used pricing tools to dramatically improve their market position in Russia. Respectively, more and more of our clients turn to SBS to fine-tuning their pricing models.

• Energy efficiency

• Distribution system

• Procurement system

• Logistics Supply System
