Capacity Expansion through Organisation Design

0%

                            Capacity increase through the same assets.

Irish Distillers Pernod Ricard was experiencing mid double-digit sales growth due to the success of their brands. Firstly, we re-designed their shift patterns and applied production smoothing based on the projected ten year demand and existing production capacity. Secondly, a team-based organisation design was developed that included structures, clear leadership, specialist skills, common goals and role descriptions for manufacturing and warehouse operations.

The redesigned shift pattern delivered a 24% capacity increase through the same assets, with headspace to double capacity as demand grows. The new organisation design step changed capability to meet future growth by providing a mix of operational and specialist skills working in multi-disciplinary teams that are focused on common goals.

Delivering Supply Chain Value

$0m

                            Annualised savings delivered.

By leveraging global manufacturing performance benchmarks at SABMiller, we established a multi-year program that applied internal best practice at our 120+ operations to deliver significant savings in the global supply chain. Benchmarks were established for each metric to create a ‘performance gap’. Global experts were mobilised to codify, share and teach the best practices.

We ultimately delivered $547m in annualised savings over three years and targeted over $1.0bn in a five year timeframe. Improvements were also made in quality and service as the program snowballed with people contributing best practice ideas from all operations.
