Plant restructuring at Caterpillar

Caterpillar manufactures and sells construction and mining equipment, off-highway diesel and natural gas engines, industrial gas turbines and diesel-electric locomotives in the United States and around the world.

Plant restructuring

The international group is exerting strong pressure to optimize the French entity's fixed costs. To achieve this, the entire structure and organization charts had to be overhauled, and the management teams had to be supported in optimizing their strategies.

Our mission

  • Benchmarking of corporate executive management, coaching and facilitation of strategy workshops for senior management.
  • Definition of areas for improving efficiency through creativity sessions, feasibility studies and business plans.
  • Definition of the transformation plan including planning, critical path and savings plan.

Results achieved

  • 15% savings on fixed costs.
  • Suppression of one hierarchical level in the organization.
