Service Area: Operations
Client Type: Data Center Infrastructure Manufacturer
Service Provider Type: Interim General Manager: Inventory Management / S&OP
Industry: Manufacturing
A rapidly growing manufacturer of data center infrastructure, faced persistent challenges with inventory management and production capacity that hindered cash flow and operational efficiency despite significant revenue growth.
Despite various initiatives, such as a new barcoding system and second shift operations, the company struggled with rising inventory levels uncorrelated with revenue changes and production bottlenecks that limited their ability to meet increasing demand.
BluWave leveraged its deep network to identify and connect the private equity firm with an interim general manager who possessed extensive experience in metal manufacturing and a proven track record in improving inventory and production processes.
The interim GM took a hands-on approach to diagnose the root causes of the operational inefficiencies and was instrumental in implementing strategic changes that significantly reduced inventory levels and increased production capacity, setting the company on a path to meet its ambitious revenue goals.
Really liked him and would use him again. He has a high skill level.
