Operations Consulting
Overview
Achieving optimal operational efficiency and effectiveness is difficult even at the best of times. In today’s uncertain environment, this is even more challenging. Businesses are looking for ways to respond competitively to the changing economic landscape. Their focus has now moved to reducing direct costs to meet customer requirements, optimizing operations and reducing indirect spending.
Our Scope
We help clients to evolve the role of their finance departments from transaction processing to driving growth, profitability and providing timely insight into business performance.
Procurement excellence is key to improving business value, mitigating risks and creating transparency in supply management. We help clients plan and implement full-scale procurement transformations as well as targeted improvements through strategic sourcing, zero-based costing, vendor development, contract management and procurement excellence assessment.
Optimizing the value of strategic initiatives, such as restructuring or acquisition in the implementation phase or post-deal, can be a challenge. We help clients integrate or merge operations and create sustainable value by retaining competencies, identifying best practices within existing operations, streamlining processes and systems whilst simultaneously mitigating the risks inherent in the post-deal phase.
We help clients analyse opportunities to enhance profitability by providing an external perspective on ways to reshape their organization and eliminate significant costs through: material cost reduction, conversion cost reduction, indirect spending reduction, procurement shared services and manpower optimization.
Driven by the desire to cut costs and improve efficiency, companies have turned to shared services and outsourcing to enhance competitiveness. Tervuren’s delivery models enable organizations to compete more effectively by transforming their internal operations. Our team is experienced in guiding clients through the various functional areas of shared services and outsourcing.
