Scalable Efficiency in Process Management

Our client had developed a 6-step methodology to identify constraints and maximize profits. The company wanted to optimize asset utilization and improve pricing strategies.

After realizing that it would be infeasible to apply this methodology in all factories, they tasked MJV with developing a new multi-faceted IBP tool to replicate their methodology. They also wanted to include customized training for staff members and a forecasting simulator.

The Challenge

Develop a margin optimization tool to enhance production allocation considering the plants' capabilities, profitability, lead times, and freight costs.

The Challenge

Integrated Business Planning meets Design Thinking

We used a combination of industry benchmarking, research, and in-depth interviews to better grasp the situation before extracting insights on possible opportunities.

This led to an ideation phase where we were able to develop the many functions and processes that would later be incorporated into the final product.

The Process

Our Solution

Fly or Die:

Validating a New Revenue Model Through Testing-as-a-Service

A solution is only as good as what you can prove, and MJV did this through a testing-as-a-service framework.

While our client ran the stores (both digital & physical), we took it upon ourselves to craft, test, and validate the strategy to determine if it should be implemented nationwide.
