Restructuring and Reorganization Services

Combined with Continuous Improvement Initiatives
Secora's restructuring approach allows your company to step-change without disrupting customer satisfaction.
Secora differentiates itself from the field by having the capability to tackle large scale critical initiatives such as rationalization, restructuring and reorganization projects.

Secora partners have lead assignments where ‘step’ change has had to occur very rapidly due to difficult trading conditions, financial distress or where productivity targets were not being met.

Secora believes that it is important to introduce strong Kaizen (or Continuous Improvement) initiatives at the earliest possible point. This ensures that ‘step’ change is followed by a period of steady, consistent, continuous improvement.

(1) Restructuring step change
(2) Long term improvements through SCIM



Typical phases of restructuring and reorganising include high level financial analysis, analysis and identification of cost reduction opportunities or analysis and identification of outsourcing opportunities.

Secora has the experience to assist senior management to make better decisions based on proven facts, robust data and statistical analysis.

Case Study - Automotive Industry

The project’s purpose was to reduce rail car demurrage for the client’s company. Rail cars are used to move material (parts) from suppliers to the automotive assembly plant and supporting facilities. Demurrages are tariff charges assessed for detaining freight cars beyond their specified time limit. Demurrage charges are billed to the assembly plant from the railroad when rail cars are held at the assembly plant or supporting facilities beyond the contracted amount of time.
