Two-day study pinpoints strengths, weaknesses; finds opportunities
Does the opportunity to have some of the most respected business advisors in the plastics industry put your organization through an intensive “physical” sound like good preventive medicine?
The Plante Moran plastics team, led by noted industry analyst Jeff Mengel, offers a comprehensive, two-day check-up and competitive analysis for plastics manufacturers that includes a walk-through of your facility and benchmarking your company to our data on more than 275 plastics facilities. This data is always current because we conduct the North American Plastics Industry study each year.
Improvements in operations, organization, and strategy
During the two days of your industry competitive analysis, the plastics team will interview selected employees with a range of responsibilities, including material control, purchasing, product engineering, marketing, maintenance, production control, finance, human resources, set up, and process. We’ll review your technical processing capabilities to address productivity, scrap, throughput, and quality capabilities.
Throughout the two-day study, our plastics and competitive analysis consulting experts will be looking for high potential activities - ways to improve your company’s operations, organization, and strategy.
Strategic discussions
At the conclusion of the two-day competitive analysis, we will discuss industry trends and our observations of your facility. The discussion will cover your business model, core competencies, bottlenecks, resource limitations, and competitive weaknesses.
Our competitive analysis consulting services will show you how you can:
- Capitalize on your strengths
- Defend your weaknesses
- Invest in your opportunities
You will receive a 60-page benchmarking report of your company’s attributes compared to our industry database and a competitive profile listing high potential activities.
