Client
A car part casting manufacturer with consolidated sales of USD 700 million and approximately 3,800 employees, operating production and sales bases across Japan, Thailand, and China.
Glance
Develop a mid-term strategy to guide the client's global expansion, while driving operational improvements across its factory locations and providing financial advisory support for new overseas investments and JV partnership negotiations.
Issue
The client needed to define a mid-term strategy to guide its global expansion, while addressing operational inefficiencies across its factories. Financial modeling for new overseas bases and JV partnerships was also required to support sound decision-making.
Approach
YCP led a three-track engagement covering strategy, operations, and financial advisory. On strategy, the team built detailed financial projections across all locations, packaged a comprehensive mid-term plan, and provided timely reporting to equity shareholders. On operations, YCP introduced a new systems framework, investigated existing workflows, and implemented improvement plans across the factory floor. For financial advisory, the team modeled projections for new overseas bases and structured optimized financial schemes with JV partners to support the client's expansion decisions.
Engagement ROI
The mid-term strategy was drafted and approved by senior management. Inventory accuracy improved through FG/WIP optimization, and production planning became measurably more precise. Overseas expansion accelerated, and the client was equipped to make well-informed decisions in JV negotiations — a direct result of the financial modeling and advisory frameworks YCP put in place.
