Key results
- 2,500+ employees
- 16 global facilities
Tecomet, the largest contract manufacturer in orthopedics, faced rising operational costs driven by wage inflation post-COVID. The company operated with 2,500+ employees across 16 global facilities, increasing complexity in addressing cost pressures. Leadership needed new approaches to improve visibility into the product portfolio and strengthen planning and execution across the business. EVP Mat Ackerman partnered with external experts rather than traditional consulting firms to evaluate process automation, workforce retention strategies, and procurement optimization. He selected experts with varied skill sets tailored to each initiative. Analytical specialists supported targeted projects, while subject matter experts worked collaboratively with internal teams. The work improved EBITDA through better product portfolio visibility. It enhanced Sales team engagement and produced strategic improvements in Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP). Some fractional consultants transitioned into full-time roles, supporting an agile response to key business issues.
