Our expertise from many years of consulting experience
We offer a comprehensive range of consulting services in the area of operations. From defining your operations strategy to optimizing your processes and improving your working capital, we support you on your journey to efficient and sustainable corporate management. Through a holistic view of your operations, we identify improvement potentials and develop tailored solutions that enhance your competitiveness.
Operations Strategy
The right operations strategy is one of the keys to a company's success. It provides the framework for fulfilling quality, cost, and delivery time requirements, thereby ensuring customer satisfaction. It comprises the following dimensions:
- Vision
- Goals
- Methods
- Requirements
The operations strategy is derived directly from the corporate strategy and is additionally influenced by the following internal and external drivers:
- Growth
- Costs
- Customers
- Market
- Trends (e.g., digitalization)
Taking these influencing factors into account, we develop a strategy map together with your stakeholders and derive goals that can be tracked via a scorecard.
Based on the strategy map, we develop the suitable production system with defined production principles for the areas of:
- Employees & leadership
- Customer orientation
- Standardization
- Continuous improvement
Cost & Value Management
Cost & Value Management (CVM) aims at cost savings and efficiency improvements. CVM helps you to produce exactly what is demanded and thus what the customer is willing to pay for, within an optimized cost framework. JK Consulting utilizes CVM in the following areas:
- Increasing customer satisfaction
- Product cost optimization and cost reduction programs
- Make or buy decisions
- Product development
- Enhancing competitiveness
- Operational due diligence and post-merger integration
We approach CVM in an interdisciplinary manner, illuminating various areas of the value chain and cost structure throughout the entire product lifecycle (PLC). In addition to development (R&D) and production, purchasing and the supply chain are also important levers of CVM. We are happy to support you in the following areas:
- PLC costing
- Value engineering
- Cost engineering
- Operational excellence and continuous improvement
Operational Excellence
Operational Excellence primarily pursues two objectives:
- "Growth without growing"
- Achieving a rapid positive EBIT impact
The choice of goal depends largely on the current situation of the company. "Growth without growing" is used in a positive business environment to increase output without expanding the organization (e.g., employees, production areas). Achieving a rapid and positive EBIT impact through cost reduction, on the other hand, is often part of optimization programs in difficult business situations.
At JK Consulting, we develop a comprehensive Operational Excellence (OpEx) program with you, consisting of the following components:
- Strategy
- Organization
- Shop-floor optimization
- Process control and monitoring (Shop-floor management)
- Innovation
With our extensive toolbox of methods, we ensure that your Operational Excellence goals are achieved.
Supply Chain Optimization
Supply chain optimization consists of many areas. A holistic view of the supply chain strategy, organization, and processes is essential. Many levers interact with each other. For example, process optimization can never reach its full potential if the underlying master data is incorrect or poorly maintained.
From the outset, we create transparency in your supply chain and assist you in optimizing one or more of the following levers, while always keeping the connections between them in mind:
- Network design and optimization
- Intra-logistics optimization
- Inventory management and optimization
- Master data cleansing and management
- KPI strategy, monitoring, and control
- Processes, roles, and responsibilities
We support you from data analysis and evaluation to scenario creation and assessment as well as the conceptualization of the target scenario, up to and including the implementation of changes. In doing so, we can build on existing structures and optimize them or develop a completely new supply chain strategy and organizational structure.
Net Working Capital Management
Working Capital Management (WCM) is a central component of successful corporate management. It aims to optimize the use of financial resources and ensure liquidity. Important goals of WCM are:
- Releasing capital
- Optimizing processes
- Increasing profitability
JK Consulting supports you in achieving these goals. Through comprehensive analyses of existing processes and data, we identify improvement potentials and develop tailored solutions. Our services include:
- Creating transparency: We analyze your data qualitatively and quantitatively to identify potentials
- Identifying improvement potentials: Based on the analysis results, we point out optimization opportunities
- Defining and implementing measures: We develop tangible measures to improve working capital and support implementation
- Establishing a holistic WCM system: Introduction of a suitable KPI system with defined goals, optimized processes, and clear roles and responsibilities
