Case Studies
Every journey is different, but a flavour of how we have helped our clients is shown below
Owen Mumford
Owen Mumford, a leading medical device design and manufacturing business, were experiencing high levels of variability in operational performance. Iter undertook a strategic review of internal and external supply chains, created a cost-to-serve model, quantified the limitations in the current operations and defined a transformation strategy. This has reduced operating cost and working capital whilst providing an improved and more reliable service to all customers.
GE Healthcare
GE Healthcare, a global leader in the supply of diagnostic pharmaceuticals, were struggling to balance the inventory required to support their market whilst meeting corporate working capital expectations. Modelling the “cost to serve” across the supply chain delivered a strategic positioning of stock and an operating model change that improved availability and flexibility whilst reducing working capital.
Edwards
Edwards Vacuum’s Service business delivered inconsistent parts availability and carried high levels of stock and obsolescence risk. Our strategic supply chain design for this market-leading supplier of vacuum pumps statistically defined and deployed inventory across the network that delivered a step change in service, minimised risk and was the catalyst for rapid business growth.
Hollister Inc.
Hollister Incorporated is a major global supplier of Ostomy and Continence Care products. When a new manufacturing site was planned for Lithuania, Iter developed a lean based, global production standard that ensured best practice from day 1 in Lithuania and subsequently in all existing sites in Europe, North America and Asia.
