Case Study: Major Satellite Manufacturer boosts profitability and regains competitiveness with AlixPartners

Major Satellite Manufacturer - Customer Case Study

Major Satellite Manufacturer turned to AlixPartners when rising costs, declining gross margins, and inconsistent R&D investment were putting market share at risk. The company was also facing customer complaints about technology, delivery schedules, and product design, and previous attempts by management to fix the issues had not worked.

AlixPartners used its QuickStrike diagnostic and cost-structure review to identify savings across supply chain, design, manufacturing, testing, and SG&A, then helped launch and track improvement projects. The vendor also built a toolkit for monitoring EBIT-focused performance and developed a technology roadmap; as a result, the client captured more than $100 million in savings in the first year, had another $100+ million underway, and launched more than 400 projects aimed at more than $200 million in total anticipated savings.
