Capex Optimisation

We help companies develop a scientific approach to maximize the ROI of the operational capital deployed in the form of plant and equipment. We help companies scientifically assess the impact of capital investments versus operational gains, and help them decide on optimal investment levels to achieve target performance

Initial Assessment

Evaluate current asset utilization, investment priorities, and cost-saving opportunities.

Initial Assessment and Data Collection

Uncover insights with data to establish CapEx optimization baseline.

Process Simulation and Scenario Analysis

Simulate scenarios to forecast and refine capital investments

Lean Manufacturing Consultation

Eliminate waste and boost efficiency through lean methodologies

Capacity Utilization Optimization

Maximize existing assets to delay costly capital expansions.

Supply Chain Optimization

Optimize supply chains to reduce inventory and capital ties.

Technology and Automation Integration

Leverage technology to enhance productivity with minimal investment.

We follow a structured and efficient approach to capital expenditure (CapEx) planning for operations, by making sure that we consider the right amount of detail in making these decisions and trade-offs. Below are the key activities and deliverables that drive successful implementation across all six stages.

Step 1: Initial Assessment and Data Collection

Key Activities:

The process begins with stakeholder interviews to gain insights into CapEx patterns. Financial and operational data are analyzed to identify inefficiencies, helping map areas that require optimization. This foundational assessment ensures that all investment decisions align with business objectives.

Key Deliverables:

Current State Assessment Report.

Step 2: Process Simulation and Scenario Analysis

Key Activities:

Operational simulations are developed to test various growth scenarios and assess their financial impact. By analyzing different cost outcomes, businesses can make informed decisions and prepare for potential challenges before committing resources.

Key Deliverables:

Future scenarios with projections of Operational and Capital Impacts.

Step 3: Lean Manufacturing Consultation

Key Activities:

Using value stream mapping, inefficiencies in production are identified, and non-value-adding activities are eliminated. Lean methodologies are then implemented to streamline operations, reduce waste, and improve overall efficiency.

Key Deliverables:

Value Stream Maps.
Lean Process Improvement Plans.

Step 4: Capacity Utilization Optimization

Key Activities:

Existing asset utilization is analyzed to maximize efficiency. Alternate configurations and resources repurposing scenarios are considered to improve output without requiring additional capital investment.

Key Deliverables:

Capacity Utilization Analysis.

Step 5: Supply Chain Optimization

Key Activities:

Inefficiencies within the supply chain are evaluated, leading to the implementation of inventory optimization strategies. Supplier contracts are reassessed to ensure cost-effective and reliable procurement, reducing lead times and excess stock.

Key Deliverables:

Supplier Performance Metrics Dashboards.

Step 6: Technology and Automation Integration

Key Activities:

Potential areas for automation are identified, and phased adoption strategies are proposed. Staff training is provided to ensure seamless integration of new technologies, enhancing productivity while minimizing resistance to change.

Key Deliverables:

Automation Feasibility Study.
