Argenius Management Consulting

We believe that supply chain design constitutes a strategic issue for manufacturing industries aiming at operational excellence. Alignment of the resources to the market demand is becoming more complex and is needed more frequently in terms of production capacity and agility as well. To succeed manufacturing industries need an approach which integrates senior expertise and advanced simulation technology.

We already helped our customers to make the best decision in the following business challenges:

• A company was losing market shares because its customer lead time was too long. We identified the main constraint and demonstrated how to reduce the customer lead time without investing in new equipment;

• The market demand of a successful company was growing yearly by 20-30%. Given the sales forecasts for the next five years and under the constraint that the customer lead time must remain at its present value, we calculated the time points when a new piece of equipment would be necessary and established the full and precise investments calendar for the next five years;

• A company wanted to reallocate the production of its product portfolio for strategic reasons. One factory was expected to absorb a volume growth of 40%. Under the constraint that the customer lead time must remain at its present value, we calculated the financial impact in terms of capital investment and human resources expenditure and the optimal trade-off between them.
