Local Focus

Our work in the highly competitive chemical industry is no exception to our general reputation – we deliver excellence to our clients. A.T. Kearney consultants have the industry-specific expertise needed to ensure that our global chemical industry clients realize tangible results.

For instance, suppose a chemical company decides to restructure its global production network. We help by evaluating and balancing the dimensions of the network, making sure that high capacity utilization, enhanced delivery reliability, inventory, operation and quality cost reduction are all stringently examined to ensure the best possible solution.

Perhaps a company decides to create value through divestment strategies. When done right – and that means when done systematically – value-enhancing divestment enables traditional chemical companies and financial investors to identify key value drivers and successfully realize maximum value from a business considered for divestment. A.T. Kearney's proven methodology in this area includes:

• Business validation and divestment case development
• Value-creating strategy and corporate vision
• Detailed value-creating measures and action plans
• Comprehensive program management for resource allocation, contract separation and IT system disintegration
• Selling process preparation
• Powerful internal and external communications plans
