Case Study: a meat casing manufacturing company achieves lower operating costs with Logan Consulting's global ERP solution

Meat Casing Manufacturing Company implements global ERP in under 18 months with Logan Consulting

The Meat Casing Manufacturing Company, an Illinois-based global manufacturer, faced challenges with high IT costs and disjointed systems after being acquired by a private equity firm. Its infrastructure included multiple incompatible ERP and financial systems, preventing effective global analysis and timely financial reporting. Logan Consulting was engaged to author a Strategic Information Systems Plan (SISP) to address these issues and make the company more attractive for a potential sale.

Logan Consulting's solution was to implement a global ERP backbone, a recommendation that came from their SISP and was supported by a detailed cost/benefit analysis. The vendor led a global selection project that unified business process leaders and resulted in a leaner enterprise with lower operating costs. The new system was implemented in under 18 months and proved less costly than the previous mix of systems. This transformation allowed the company to be sold, successfully meeting the private equity investors' goals.
