Rebuilding the Backbone: Financial Clarity for a Manufacturing Turnaround

Project Background & Objective

Our client, a leading investment firm, was evaluating a potential stake in a medical consumables manufacturer. While the company showed promise, they were facing operational inefficiencies and cash flow constraints. Fragmented data across functions and the absence of structured financial planning made it difficult to assess the true profitability, align capital investments with production needs, or manage inventory effectively.

To address these gaps, our engagement focused on the following:

• Build a comprehensive financial model to centralize operational and financial data and improve visibility into production costs and working capital requirements
• Align capital expenditure planning with actual production needs to support efficient resource allocation
• Establish accurate forecasting methods for procurement, inventory, and capacity planning to enable proactive, data-driven decision-making

Our Approach

Our comprehensive approach involved:

• Workflow Assessment: Conducted site visits and process walkthroughs to identify pain points across production, procurement, and finance

• Integrated Financial Model: Built a dynamic model covering monthly, quarterly, and annual forecasts for production capacity, raw material usage, labour, and cash flow

• Inventory & Procurement Forecasting: Linked procurement directly to production schedules to reduce delays and reactive planning

• Capex Planning Module: Designed a capital planning framework that phased out investments based on actual capacity and growth projections

Our Impact

Our work enabled the client to proceed with the investment armed with a clear, data-driven understanding of the company's operational potential. By centralizing data and integrating forecasting tools, we gave the investor real-time visibility into key financial metrics—reducing risk and ensuring the business was investment-ready and built for scalable growth.

At AND, we don't just support investment decisions—we build the financial foundations that turn potential into performance and vision into value.
