Leading High-Tech Manufacturers - Customer Case Study

Leading High-Tech Manufacturers, one of the world’s leading high-tech manufacturers, was struggling with inconsistent, unreliable data across departments. With no single version of the truth, executives could not accurately assess profitability, forecast demand, or understand the financial impact of decisions, and the company was losing billions annually. The company turned to AlixPartners for help.

AlixPartners cleaned up the data, built a consistent profitability and planning framework, and implemented software tools to support better business decisions, including a virtual manufacturing cost model and centralized sales and operational planning. The results were significant: annual losses could be cut by about a third, recurring profit impact exceeded $100 million a year, capacity increased by 10%, demand forecasting improved by more than 10%, more than $100 million in capital purchases were avoided, and new pricing structures added $20 million in profit margin.
