US analyst firm ALM Intelligence has rated CAMELOT Management Consultants a global pioneer in the consulting discipline of production strategy once again this year. A crucial factor in CAMELOT's rating as "ALM Vanguard LeaderTM" – the best possible category – was its ability to develop flexible and adaptable production strategies for its clients and thus to help them achieve new competitive advantages.
According to the current market report "The ALM Vanguard – Production Strategy Consulting 2019" by ALM Intelligence, the need for consulting among companies in the area of production is shifting from cost optimization towards the question of how production can be leveraged as a source for new competitive advantages. From consulting providers, this primarily means an informed, long-term strategic view of the evolving industry, customer and technology trends, as well as an understanding of production as an integral part of the value chain.
"As a consulting specialist for value chain management, CAMELOT is one of the few consulting providers who supply these skills," comments Naima Hoque, Senior Research Analyst at ALM Intelligence. "CAMELOT adopts a unique consulting approach to production strategy, which simultaneously considers the strategic trade-offs among market positioning, product characteristics, production processes and workforce capabilities and provides for harmonized operating models and structures in alignment with the business strategy," explains Naima Hoque.
ALM's Vanguard LeaderTM analyses assess a company's relative ability to create additional value for its customers. They include an examination of the depth and breadth of its consultancy competencies. Companies that perform the best in this regard receive the highest appraisal of "Vanguard Leader." The Vanguard Leaders of 2019 include – alongside CAMELOT – McKinsey, Boston Consulting Group and PwC.
