Optimized Manufacturing Footprint to Deliver 10% Fixed Cost Savings at PE-Owned Trailer Manufacturer

Challenge

A private equity-owned mid-market trailer manufacturer was facing rising fixed costs as portions of its manufacturing network became underutilized. Leadership knew changes were needed but lacked a practical way to evaluate different network scenarios and understand their financial impacts.

The company needed a faster, more structured approach to bring together data from across the business, conduct scenario analysis, and identify the network configuration that would create the most value.

Approach

  • Consolidated operational and financial data from across manufacturing network into a single analytical model
  • Built a decision support tool to quickly compare customer, product, and facility scenarios
  • Quantified the operational and financial impact of each alternative
  • Presented recommendations within 4 weeks that enabled leadership to make informed decisions with confidence

Results

Freed 10% in fixed costs

Identified 5% in current footprint product optimizations with no capital investment

Flagged under-utilized production site for closure
