Battery Raw-Materials Leader
Premium raw materials for battery manufacturers - 25 years in market, 250+ active customers across 12+ countries.
01The context
A leader serving global battery customers, capacity-constrained.
Existing facilities couldn't meet rising demand from the automotive sector. The team had product depth and customer trust but operational efficiency, energy and resource utilization needed a structural reset. Brand and customer-engagement also lagged the company's actual capability.
02The diagnosis
Capacity, efficiency and customer engagement - all addressable in 18 months.
We separated the capacity question (new unit) from the efficiency question (existing plant) so both could be solved in parallel rather than waiting on each other. Sales and operations needed structured S&OP - they were running on goodwill and tribal knowledge.
03What we installed
The interventions, in order.
- Structured S&OP meetings — Demand planner and sales planner aligned in a single rhythm. Inventory rebalanced across stages.
- MIRS across the organization — Real-time digital dashboards for tactical operations and demand planning.
- New unit set up for capacity — Capacity ceiling lifted to absorb growth without compromising existing plant utilization.
- MTO / MTS / MTE / MOQ discipline — Reduced over- and under-production. Working capital unlocked across stages.
- Brand visibility plan — Repositioned the company globally as a Tier-1 supplier rather than a regional vendor.
