Experience
Roland Berger, Munich
- A German premium OEM had no consolidated view of tier-2 supplier exposure across its EV battery supply chain, creating an unquantified €200m+ risk; mapped 4,800 tier-2 relationships in 12 weeks, identified 9 single-source critical parts, and developed a dual-sourcing roadmap that reduced critical exposure by 64% within 18 months.
- Tier-1 automotive supplier was running procurement in 7 independent regional units with no cross-purchasing leverage, resulting in €52m in identified above-market spend; designed a centre-led category management model for 14 commodity categories and negotiated consolidated contracts, delivering €52m in annual savings — 93% of the identified opportunity.
- An industrial equipment manufacturer's product portfolio had grown to 380 SKUs, with 40% generating negative contribution margin; led a portfolio rationalisation and identified 120 discontinuation candidates, projecting €8m EBITDA improvement with no revenue impact on core segments.
Roland Berger, Munich
- Austrian automotive stamping supplier was producing at 68% capacity utilisation due to unbalanced production scheduling; performed time-motion analysis on 22 production cells, rebalanced line assignments and implemented a visual scheduling system, raising utilisation to 88% and increasing throughput by 29% without capital investment.
Roland Berger, Munich
- Polish industrial components manufacturer had no structured cost-reduction programme ahead of a private equity exit; built a full cost-bridge model identifying €14m in addressable EBITDA improvements across materials, labour, and overhead, which was adopted as the basis for the investor presentation and contributed to a 1.4× EV/EBITDA multiple expansion at sale.
