LCI worked with a global manufacturer of Construction Supplies to fill an unexpected vacancy at the COO position.  The manufacturer was able to continue operations and gained the confidence necessary to be able to take the appropriate amount of time to find the right replacement.
 

LCI worked with a global manufacturer and distributor of industrial chemicals to identify ways in which the company could grow sales without sacrificing margins.  LCI performed a modeling exercise of the current go to market environment.  The process of collaborating with stakeholders generated critical information about both the company's competitive advantages and its short falls.  Critical deficiencies were addressed then focus shifted to building upon the company's strengths.  Opportunities were leveraged such as territory density, warehouse optimization and freight mode shifts.  The project contributed to the double digit growth of both the top and bottom lines.
 

LCI worked with a global manufacturer of cleaning supplies to identify ways to reduce their cost per unit without compromising quality or adding significant overheads.  LCI created a high level process map of the company's value chain and determined that raw material complexity was abnormally high.  LCI collaborated with the production team, sourcing group and the research and development department to come up with alternative product formulations.  The use of these alternative formulations created bulk purchasing opportunities and increased SKU velocity.  The cost of goods were reduced by over $1million per year. 

LCI worked with a global consumer packaged goods manufacturer to improve the return on investment from its marketing investments.  LCI interviewed key stakeholders in the distribution team, the planning group, marketing department and retail store managers.  The exercise uncovered many links within the chain which were prone to failure.  Issues such as overly aggressive lead times, unreliable vendors and missing communication channels all contributed to the poor performance of the marketing programs.  Once identified each issues was systematically resolved and each program became more successful.
