Case Study: a composite parts carve-out achieves productivity and procurement gains with Maine Pointe

Composite Parts Carve-Out boosts productivity 13% and saves $6.7M with Maine Pointe

The customer, a composite parts carve-out from the aerospace sector, faced significant challenges after multiple ownership changes left it with new leadership and a lack of foundational capabilities in procurement and operations. Performance drivers were misaligned and its decentralized procurement strategy failed to leverage economies of scale. Maine Pointe was engaged to help establish a stronger operating model and cost structure.

Maine Pointe implemented a center-led procurement model supported by a new Procurement Management Operating System (PMOS) and established an operations management system to improve workflow and leadership coordination. This transformation fostered a cultural change and delivered substantial results, including a 13% improvement in manufacturing productivity and $6.7 million in benefits. The vendor also helped the company extend its accounts payable terms and drive sustainability through the new PMOS.
