Our real world expertise has helped us deliver business operations consulting and IT services and support that deliver measurable improvements in operational efficiency for clients in these industries:
Chemical Manufacturing
With increasing globalization comes increasing demands on efficiency, time-to-market, order lead times, and management of product life cycles. Management is constantly looking for gains through improved asset utilization, enhanced yields and efficiencies, and improved employee productivity.
During the last several years, chemical manufacturers have struggled to maintain growth and profit margins. Raw materials, especially petro-chemically based ones, and energy prices have risen along with competitive pricing pressures. Mergers, acquisitions and industry consolidations are also a significant factor as manufacturers gain competitiveness through size and niche markets. The overriding objective of enterprise business systems is to provide critical information and to support business processes, maximizing gains and minimizing losses.
Pharmaceuticals Biologicals Medical
Life Science manufacturers are continuously seeking ways to drive down costs and streamline operations while addressing mandates such as the FDA’s 21 CFR Part 11. Mergers, acquisitions and industry consolidations are a significant factor as manufacturers gain competitiveness through size and niche markets. Enterprise Business Systems for the Life Sciences Industry manage the critical information that drives business profitability concurrently ensuring product safety.
As pharma experts, Mills4i’s extensive experience working with companies that manufacture pharmaceuticals, nutriceuticals, and biotechnology products enables us to provide business process implementation and optimization services incorporating current Good Manufacturing Practices and other industry best practices. These services are targeted at maximizing the flow of critical information through the organization, minimizing redundancies and ensuring this information is used to make vital business decisions.
Consumer Products
Intense competitive forces drive proliferation as CPG companies work to capture the greatest market share. Enterprise business systems and the business processes companies put in place must be geared for continuous product introductions with all process streamlined to make this happen.
Food & Beverage
The Food and Beverage industry is defined by powerful competition forcing them into a mode of continuous improvement in most areas of the business as well as continuous new product introductions. These improvements must be supported by enterprise business systems providing critical information.
While the food and beverage industry is extremely diverse, companies in the industry are all seeking ways to drive down costs, streamline operations and monitor food safety. They face the same business drivers as other manufacturing industries with the added responsibility to abide by FDA (Food and Drug Administration), USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) or ICH (International Conference on Harmonization) regulations.
