There exist numerous errors that manufacturing owners and executives make on a daily basis, spawned by the myths, and leading to incremental, systematic decline in profits.

For example:

  • What happened to all of the profits that your prior cost reduction efforts were supposed to generate?  Are they on your bottom line?
  • Why does your business plan miss the profit target so often?
  • Why did your inventory balloon when you converted to Lean based “pull” strategies?
  • When your new product was introduced, why did your profits decline even after you exceeded the target volume?
  • Why did profits decline when you reallocated your marketing and sales focus to the high margin product?

If you have encountered any of these mysteries, or if you just want to begin the move to world class operations, PREVEL may be the answer.

PREVEL business analytics give executives visibility of product and customer performance contribution to the overall health of the company. A first step is to understand the hidden traps in the traditional understanding of business metrics, and avoid those traps.  When you engage PREVEL Consulting, we deliver business analytics that demonstrate how owners and executives, relying on common principles of fixed costs and variable costs, create a spiral dive into decline.  And we show why other business models, such as EVA, ABC, Lean and others, often exacerbate the problem. Then we show how to avoid the traps, and introduce a new dynamism to your organization, business processes and your bottom line.

PREVEL consultants don’t just find problems.  They fix them.
