SUCCESS STORY
Cost reduction analysis
Process and cost analysis of the three plants in Hamburg, Berlin and Marki to develop cost-cutting measures in the coffee production network
Tchibo Manufacturing GmbH is subjecting its manufacturing costs to a regular, critical review in order to increase its overall competitiveness. The aim of the project was to develop effective measures to reduce manufacturing costs and sustainably increase profitability. Together with Rothbaum, a comprehensive catalog of measures was developed in three months.
The comprehensive analysis concept made it possible to identify significant and effective savings potential. The collaboration with the Rothbaum team was extremely satisfactory for me.
