This PPT slide, part of the 122-slide Guide to Competitive Assessment PowerPoint presentation, titled "2B: Operational – Products & Services" outlines critical considerations for assessing operational synergies between different market segments. It is structured into 4 main areas, each addressing specific questions that guide strategic thinking.
The first section, "Linkage between market segments," prompts an exploration of the interdependencies between 2 market segments, A and B. It raises questions about the potential benefits of having a business presence in both segments and how fluctuations in one might impact the other. This is crucial for understanding market dynamics and potential risks.
The second area, "Shared design," focuses on the integration of engineering and product design processes across segments. It examines whether there is a consistent approach to product design and the extent to which engineering plays a role in new product development. The emphasis on management priorities—such as quality and cost management—highlights the need for alignment in operational goals.
The third section, "Shared assets," investigates the commonalities between the segments, particularly regarding operational efficiencies. It encourages consideration of synergies that could arise from utilizing shared resources, which can lead to cost savings and improved performance.
Lastly, "Shared suppliers" addresses procurement strategies. It questions whether consolidating purchases across segments could yield savings and what specific components are being targeted for consolidation. This section underscores the importance of supplier relationships in achieving operational efficiency.
