Manufacturing · Licensing & Cost engineering

A regional manufacturer had strong output and weak visibility on cost. We rebuilt costing, sequenced sector licences, and set the pricing that made growth financeable.

The challenge
What the team walked in with.
The factory floor was disciplined, but pricing was set on instinct and sector licences were fragmented across teams.
Our approach
How we sequenced the work.
- 01Rebuilt costing at the SKU level and modelled pricing against real gross margin.
- 02Sequenced sector licences into a single compliance plan owned by one lead.
- 03Prepared the business for growth financing with clean numbers and a defensible plan.
