We find hidden value
- Projects have shown significant increases of between US$ 435 Million to US$ 5 Billion per project in the Net Present Value (NPV)
- Simulation modeling combined with the GMC IP/trade secrets have uncovered unrealistic 5Y-Plans and identified counterintuitive value-creating solutions that were obscured by conventional thinking/methods
We use a scientific blueprint
GMC aligns technological design and innovation with organizational design using a Scientific Blueprint, which:
- defines value adding roles and responsibilities
- builds the lowest cost organization structure once these roles and responsibilities have been defined
In addition, the Scientific Blueprint:
- ensures operational readiness and sustainable value-add when implementing the new technical solutions
- minimizes reliance on individuals to implement new direction and change management
- serves as a reference to sustain new direction and prevents cost creep
- provides transparency in understanding the headcount requirements for a business
The absence of a blueprint is often a reason why many expensive projects fail to deliver sustainable value.
We identify the lowest cost platform
In designing the lowest cost platform, GMC:
- identifies the minimum amount of work required to achieve the volume and value targets
- provides greenfield projects with a scientific understanding of the basic equipment and labor equation required for an operation before any money is spent on equipment and infrastructure
- identifies non-value adding functions that most brownfields organizations accumulate over time
- eliminates waste scientifically, not opportunistically
- identifies the lowest fixed cost platform and variable cost flexing to cater for volatility
- focuses on fundamental and sustainable whole system cost reduction solutions rather than silo-based short-term cost cuts
We stabilize the operations
There are several indications that the operational system has reached the limits of its inherent capability and has become unstable. These include:
- Increasing variance from plan
- maintenance reliability issues
- safety incidents and failure to meet short and long-term objectives
GMC:
- finds the sources of the instability and develops specific strategies which create enough time and space in the operations to optimize the available capacity
- develops solutions to increase the system capability or cap the system throughput at levels where performance is stable and continuous improvement efforts are sustainable
Our Software Solution
INSIGHTIZE™ is a first-to-market Decision-Making Support Software Solution which simulates the impact of executive decisions. Decisions can be tested for:
- how it will increase cash and NPV
- the magnitude of the risk associated with making changes
- its effect on people and equipment numbers
- impact on work and KPIs at each level of the organization
- the value associated with implementing new technology
INSIGHTIZE™ enables managers and executives to simulate strategic and tactical options and understand the outcomes of their pending decisions on cash and NPV.
