Key challenges

Traditional focus on manufacturing and sales/distribution: Historical emphasis on manufacturing and sales/distribution, with limited attention to supply chain dynamics.

Integration gap between manufacturing and sales/distribution: Lack of integration between manufacturing and sales and distribution processes, resulting in increased costs and hindered market responsiveness.

Need for cost reduction and improved market responsiveness: The necessity to enhance cost efficiency and market responsiveness by aligning manufacturing operations with sales and distribution strategies.

Our approach

In addressing the challenges faced by our client, TMX undertook a strategic approach, including:

  • Total supply chain strategic review, identifying opportunities for immediate impact.
  • Implemented a targeted 'quick wins' savings program within the national logistics operations, swiftly capturing significant benefits.
  • Identified and executed rapid 'quick wins' opportunities in logistics to generate immediate savings, providing funding for the broader strategic review and subsequent implementation program.
The results

Over a 5-month period, TMX was able to identify and capture benefits, resulting in a significant EBIT shift.
