Peak Productivity Program

When the right people have the right insights and process, they can find powerful solutions that enhance productivity.

The Peak Productivity Program is a multi-month process that results in projects that drive productivity enhancement following a proven approach to creating new and useful solutions. The process utilizes a core team from your organization responsible for pulling essential data from the organization, and then adds in front-line team members and key influencers within the organization who apply their knowledge through a curated process that generates insights and big solutions.

Key steps include: 

• Determine scope of project 
• Gather Data 
• Clarify the Problem 
• Generate Ideas 
• Develop solutions 
• Plan for implementation 

While this process is often used to realize productivity savings in the Manufacturing area (covering raw materials, conversion, packaging, marketing, transportation, and other areas), it’s also been applied to challenges related to ingredients, contracting process, pre-launch cost reduction, incremental growth on established businesses, new offerings, new market segments, new business models, new distribution channels, improved processes, portfolio optimization, and more. 
​
The outcome of the process is a series of projects that enable the organization to realize (depending on the scope of the challenge) literally millions of dollars in savings.

Benefits to the organization include:  

• Builds a fact-based framework 
• Creates a single-source reference for current costs and cost drivers that proves to be an excellent resource for the organization beyond the project. 
• Establishes a cost/value viewpoint for identifying opportunities 
• A catalog of solutions designed to create improvement 
• A fact-based ideation session that enables solutions grounded in reality and based on current practices as well as innovative insights. 
• Produces both big and incremental cost optimization ideas  
• Uniquely structured to combine the best information with the people best able to leverage it 
• Draws ideas from a diverse set of perspectives
