Assignment Details

Our client, a leading Automotive Components Manufacturer, is seeking a senior independent Manufacturing/ Operations Consultant to support a strategic diagnostic and operational improvement assignment. The engagement will focus on assessing plant performance, identifying operational and capacity improvement opportunities, and developing a pragmatic roadmap to strengthen manufacturing, procurement, and supply chain effectiveness.

Key Engagement Areas
 

  • Conduct a diagnostic assessment of plant operations, including manufacturing processes, capacity utilization, productivity, quality, and operational bottlenecks.
  • Evaluate capacity and process efficiency across key manufacturing operations and identify opportunities for optimization.
  • Assess procurement and supply chain practices, including sourcing, material flow, inventory, supplier performance, and cost levers.
  • Identify operational improvement opportunities across manufacturing, procurement, supply chain, and plant management.
  • Develop a prioritized operational improvement and transformation roadmap, with clear initiatives, timelines, impact areas, and implementation considerations.
  • Engage with plant leadership and key stakeholders to validate findings and build alignment around recommended interventions.
  • Translate diagnostic findings into practical, implementation-oriented recommendations rather than purely strategic observations.

Component Manufacturing

Assembly Operations
Machine Shops / Production Facilities

15+ years of relevant experience across manufacturing, operations, plant transformation, or management consulting.

Exposure to procurement and supply chain transformation is highly desirable.

Experience working with senior plant / business leadership and translating operational findings into actionable improvement plans.
