Manufacturing & Engineering
Margin, materials and capacity for manufacturers
Manufacturing businesses live and die on unit cost, material prices and capacity planning. We bring the financial discipline, procurement muscle and planning to keep all three under control.
What gets in the way
The challenges we see most often
Knowing the true cost of what you make
Overheads, scrap, downtime and rework hide inside average margins. We build costing that shows profit by product and customer so you can price, prioritise and drop what does not pay.
Material and energy prices
Raw materials, energy and consumables are often the largest controllable costs. We analyse spend, consolidate suppliers and negotiate or tender with the data in hand.
Investing ahead of demand
New machinery, premises and people need funding and timing. Our growth planning models the capital, the capacity and the cash, and prepares the case for lenders where needed.
