Throughput Optimization

Start the path to better productivity

In today’s business environment, everyone talks about efficiency and how to be more productive.  On the surface, that sounds like a good idea – who wouldn’t want to do more with less?

But is efficiency the right way to look at organizational performance?  Most organizations have been on this journey for a long yet – yet inventories are piled up and productivity improvement has plateaued.  

At PERLUXI, we are passionate about helping our clients maximize their shareholder value.  With Throughput Optimization, we look at the entire organization – identifying where to best allocate resources and people to maximize value.

Optimization for finances & supply chain

Our team studies the finance processes and begins designing the best-fit Target Operating Model for Finance, along with optimizing enabling processes so that the Finance function can effectively drive value for shareholders.

The Finance optimization is complemented by creating value within the Supply Chain – redesigning Supply Chain functions to better integrate with Sales and Operations, and balancing the need for inventory and cost of capital deployed. 

We look at the big picture

From a finance and supply chain perspective, throughput optimization is paramount in ensuring cost-effectiveness and maintaining a smooth flow of services. By strategically managing resources, minimizing waste, and streamlining processes, we aim to enhance overall efficiency.

How we've tackled problems:

Stewart Title 

The problem:
The company had over 240 offices, each office with its own finance & accounting function. This was very expensive to maintain the company struggled with visibility on what each office is doing with its finance & accounting function.

Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics 

The problem:
OCD’s finance & accounting function had a number of operational and structural issues. This impacted the efficiency and effectiveness of the finance & accounting department, causing significant staff turnover as well as inaccuracy in financial reporting.

Xerox

The problem:
At the time, Xerox was going through significant operational issues. With so many projects started to fix the internal issues and limited resources, the company was struggling with how to identify all of the sponsored and unsponsored projects and prioritize those projects for implementation.

Motiva

The problem:
When Motiva was a joint venture between Shell and Saudi Aramco, it was supported by Shell’s shared services operation – primarily out of the Philippines. The challenge was that Motiva was paying a large amount of money to Shell but was not getting the type of services and reporting that it needed.
