Roadmap for growth transformation
Building a new operating model, while decreasing indirect headcount and redesigning the organization structure of a world-class aerospace supplier.
Challenge
Despite the company experiencing strong growth over a five- to 10-year period and winning several new contracts and clients, evolutions in cost levels and complexity were unfavorable and EBIT decreased drastically, in particular due to surging indirect headcount. A complete turnaround was needed.
Approach
The approach was structured around three core modules:
- Introduce flow thinking and prepare the go-live of the first new operating unit
- Identify optimal operations models and define the industrial vision for the entire company
- Define a lean global organization to reduce indirect headcount in the short term and insure long term competitiveness by structurally transforming the organization
Value
- All 15 departments and 9 operating units in 4 geographies were successfully transformed
- First operating unit launched with 100% on-time delivery (OTD)
- Headcount reduction realized:
- 10% first year
- 8% second year
- new structure in place
