1 Operating Model Effectiveness

2 Operating Model Effectiveness To restore and maintain confidence in the long term, businesses must understand and manage risk better through improved operational efficiency, increased transparency and greater global coordination within their organizations. These are elements that can be addressed using a global business strategy and Supply Chain model often called Operating Model Effectiveness (OME). This has been recognized by future-sighted companies which are using the current economic situation to implement these changes. Based on our experiences from working with many of these companies, we looked at three strategic objectives that are crucial to the overall business strategy and chosen Supply Chain operating model for companies that are serious about sustaining and improving their business performance. 1. Operational efficiency To improve business performance, an organization needs to increase its operational efficiency. It needs to consider the changing market environment and any changes in customer requirements. In the current climate of economic uncertainty, it is important to have sufficient cash resources to meet current and future obligations. An overall reduction in Supply Chain costs can release cash for future investment or for buying back company debt, which would help capital efficiency. Indirect taxes are another area where it is relatively simple to free up working capital. The multinational companies that have implemented Operating Model Effectiveness (OME) models range from pharmaceutical and chemical companies to consumer products and the high tech and automotive industries. Increased integration 2. The second area of improvement for multinational and multi- divisional companies is to increase integration within their organizations, primarily through transparency. Organizations, systems and data need to be transparent in order to leverage process integration. An organizational culture and structure that is unwilling to share information across business divisions and functional areas, will achieve limited organizational learning and improvement. 3. Greater global coordination Increased integration and transparency provides global visibility in the execution of business operations. Companies need to transform themselves from multinational corporations to truly global organizations by following a series of coordinated processes. The implementation of these global processes helps with the creation of global hubs to serve all of 2 Operating Model Effectiveness

3 in globalized world, international companies compete operating model vs. operating model the countries in which a company operates. In our work with some of our key clients in different industry sectors, we know that they understand the rationale and benefits of having globally integrated and coordinated systems, organizations, data and processes in place. But, having said that, they often are unsure on the best way to achieve this kind of business structure. Many companies have started the journey towards global integration and coordination, but many companies also continue to lag behind and still need to learn the lesson that global coordination is a not a luxury, but a necessity, in today s interconnected and interdependent markets. Companies need to work, both internally and externally, to promote global consistency in proposing and implementing solutions to the crisis and to anticipate and prevent other potential risks. Centralization of business management can bring operational improvements such as speed and accuracy of operations, reduced duplication of business processes, improved service, reduced working capital, improved handling of international customers, better decision making in constraint situations, central sourcing cost reduction opportunities, harmonization of processes and a good basis for shared services. It also creates an opportunity to simplify intercompany transactions substantially. Business Model Operating Model the idea How will you make money?

4 Why perform an OME analysis? There are a number of examples of transformational needs calling for an OME analysis.
