Micro Electronics Add on Integration and Plant Closure

For a global microelectronics / semiconductor services company, Quantum led an add-on integration.  The major workstream was footprint consolidation – the closure of 1 US manufacturing plant and moving production and operations to 2 other US based plants.  The move involved 4 services, 1 of which was completely new to the acquirer and with a significant need for knowledge transfer. Quantum developed a detailed work plan that  included value stream mapping, equipment needs assessment, customer qualifications plan, training and knowledge transfer plan, production coordination, testing and ramp up, hiring/HR considerations etc.  Quantum led the PMO to integrate both manufacturing and back office.  Work was completed to excellent client satisfaction, despite having to work through Covid-related restrictions.

Chemicals Roll Up and Operations Stabilization

For a mid-market PE owned chemicals company, Quantum led a 12 month engagement to integrate 6 acquisitions and also to stabilize operations at the consolidated central bottling/packaging plant. Quantum set up a PMO structure, built functional integration plans for each of the acquired companies and managed the integration.  The scope included raw material procurement savings, closing down of 2 facilities and opening a new central bottling facility with expanded capacity, increased cross-selling, insourcing, and ERP extension to all locations.  The team achieved the savings targets and all integration milestones. Following the integration, Quantum led a 6-month engagement to stabilize operations at the central bottling plant.  Quantum consultant acted as the interim plant manager, hired key staff, staffed a second shift, set up KPIs and daily reporting.  Reduced back orders by 80% when order volumes increased by 275%.  All of this was achieved while maintaining disease free continuous operations during the Covid outbreak.
