A leading Korean dairy products manufacturer engaged Looxent to optimize its production and logistics operations. Despite industry-wide challenges, the client achieved consistent growth through successful product diversification, B2B and international market expansion, increased sales of high-value products, and disciplined cost reduction initiatives. These efforts resulted in significant profitability improvements.
The company’s leadership sought to sustain this momentum by enhancing its competitiveness and expanding its global footprint. With seven production facilities and five logistics centers acquired during its growth, the company recognized the need to realign its operational footprint to match its long-term strategic objectives. Optimizing these assets became a critical component of their competitive strategy.
Looxent partnered with the client to conduct a five-month production and logistics optimization project. The initiative not only defined a strategic operational framework for the company’s production and logistics systems but also bridged gaps in perspectives between departments, executives, and operational teams. Moreover, Looxent delivered analytical frameworks and tools to support ongoing decision-making and established a foundation for continuous improvement through short-term actionable initiatives.
