Scalable Efficiency in Process Management
Our client had developed a 6-step methodology to identify constraints and maximize profits. The company wanted to optimize asset utilization and improve pricing strategies.
After realizing that it would be infeasible to apply this methodology in all factories, they tasked MJV with developing a new multi-faceted IBP tool to replicate their methodology. They also wanted to include customized training for staff members and a forecasting simulator.

The Challenge
Develop a margin optimization tool to enhance production allocation considering the plants' capabilities, profitability, lead times, and freight costs.
The Challenge
Integrated Business Planning meets Design Thinking
We used a combination of industry benchmarking, research, and in-depth interviews to better grasp the situation before extracting insights on possible opportunities.
This led to an ideation phase where we were able to develop the many functions and processes that would later be incorporated into the final product.
The Process
Implementing a profitable strategy in a different market

Our Solution
Fly or Die:
Validating a New Revenue Model Through Testing-as-a-Service
A solution is only as good as what you can prove, and MJV did this through a testing-as-a-service framework.
While our client ran the stores (both digital & physical), we took it upon ourselves to craft, test, and validate the strategy to determine if it should be implemented nationwide.
Case Study

The Results
4
Different views, from company-wide to product-level analysis.
The final product was a platform that automates data analysis, supporting the executives’ decision making process on SKUs production planning. By combining SQL databases with Power BI direct query and real-time dashboard updates, we provided high-level analysis with the latest data.
If you’re trying to integrate advanced automation or update your process optimization, you could probably do it in house, albeit at the cost of time and resources. But there is another way, the MJV way.
