5. HOW WE HELPED
Together with the client we developed a multi-brand
Value Analysis and Redesign program
Each product group followed the same systematic
steps that included redesign and training teams in the
methodology over a two-month timeframe:
➢ We started with Kick-off workshop to define the
scope of the project and the objectives to be
achieved
➢ Introduce the Redesign to Value methodology and
onboard the cross functional team including all key
departments - Marketing, Quality, R&D, Purchasing,
Production, Maintenance, etc.
6. Interviews to describe the perception of the
product in its context and to identify its key
features.
This list was then submitted to a panel of
consumers who in turn established a hierarchy
according to their expectations.
Evaluation their level of satisfaction regarding
the product by Groomers of.
Workshops focusing on costs to features
comparing the distribution cost to customer
expectations, identification of the cost
improvement levers, the associated gains and
risks, the technical feasibility and the resources
required to implement these levers.
The methodology helped establish a common
ground, facts, structure and language for
challenging decision making (across multiple
functions, and between Corporate and Business
Unit). After the first successes, the Client is
rolling-out the approach in a targeted manner,
for BUs or products that need it.
The involvement and commitment of the
representatives of each key function and the
support of senior management were essential in
delivering a qualitative outcome.
