How We Work
Every Operis engagement runs on a proven method, refined over 35 years and hundreds of engagements across industrial, consumer, aerospace, and PE-backed manufacturers. We do not start from a blank page. We start from a discipline that has delivered, then tailor it to your business.
The method
01
Diagnose and quantify
We find where the value actually is, sourcing, inventory, footprint, and cost to serve, and put a hard number on it. Fast and fact-based, no guesswork.
02
Prioritize
We rank the opportunities by value, speed, and risk, so the first moves are the ones that pay back fastest and build momentum with your team.
What we bring to the table
Operations and Opportunity Assessment
A fast, structured diagnostic that quantifies the value hiding in a business, cost, working capital, footprint, and complexity, in weeks, not quarters.
Manufacturing and Footprint Strategy
A structured method for network design, make-versus-buy, site selection, and operating-model decisions across a global footprint.
M&A Operational Diligence and Integration
Operational due diligence and a first-100-day integration plan that captures synergies and avoids the classic post-close stumbles.
03
Execute
We do the work alongside your people, across sourcing, supply chain, manufacturing, and footprint, turning the plan into results you can measure.
Cost-to-Serve and Profitability Analysis
Multi-dimensional analysis of profit by product, customer, and channel, so you know exactly where you make money and where you do not.
Planning and SIOP Cadence
Sales, inventory, and operations planning that lifts on-time delivery and inventory turns while releasing working capital.
Data-Driven Execution
Modern analytics and tooling paired with proven method, for fast, measurable wins in inventory, shortages, and on-time delivery.
04
Sustain
We install the metrics, KPI cadence, and operating rhythm that hold the gains after we leave. Heroics do not scale. Operating systems do.
Supply Chain and Sourcing Diagnostics
Assessment questionnaires and benchmarks that pinpoint sourcing, inventory, and service-level gaps against best practice.
Change Management and Adoption
Readiness assessment, sponsorship, and communication that make change actually take hold, the people side most plans miss.
Project and Program Management
Workplans, governance, and PMO discipline that keep a first 100 days on track and accountable from hour one.
A proven method, not a blank page.
