We help manufacturing and distribution leaders use their data to focus priorities, remove costly complexity, and equip their teams to turn decisions into results. [Talk to an Expert](https://meetings.hubspot.com/walt-melcher/talk-to-an-expert)[Explore How We Help ↓](https://boldvaluepartners.com/improve-your-margins#elevate) ### Reveal Hidden Margin See which customers, products, and activities contribute to profit. ### Focus Resources Concentrate effort on the opportunities that matter most. ### Simplify Operations Reduce complexity that adds cost without enough value. ### Equip Leaders Build financial understanding and confident decision-making. ## Your Business Is Busy. Is It as Profitable as It Could Be? Strong sales and full schedules can hide weak margins. Costs creep up, product lines expand, and teams spend time on work that delivers too little return. The first step is understanding where that is happening in your business. - Costs are rising, but customers resist price increases. - You cannot clearly see which customers and products earn their share of profit. - Too many products, exceptions, and handoffs make the business harder to run. - Important decisions keep coming back to the president because managers lack the financial understanding or confidence to act. ## Elevate Your Performance ### Data Discipline #### 80/20 Analysis Prioritize the value of customers and products to focus on the critical few. #### Quad & Quartile Analysis Enables focus on targeted profitable growth and simplification opportunities. #### Transactional Analysis Identify and generate actions to remove hidden cost of complexity. #### Portfolio Analysis Inform strategic choices related to markets, products or geographies. ### Business Optimization #### Financial Ownership Expanded understanding will empower better business decision making. #### Customer Success Differentiated focus to align resources to positively impact key customers. #### Operational Excellence Build sustainable competitive advantage through process efficiencies. #### Bold Simplification Eliminate complexity to allow resources to focus on the core essentials. ## See Where Better Performance Begins Four connected areas.

His approach combines data analysis with the leadership work needed to put decisions into practice. ### $1 Million in Parts-and-Kits Margin Improvement As the president of a capital equipment manufacturer, Hans applied 80/20 and product segmentation across more than 8,000 part numbers to identify pricing, sourcing, and portfolio changes that improved profit by $1 million in the parts-and-kits business. ### $2.2 Million in Overhead Removed At a global industrial manufacturer, as president of a North American division, he led a project that consolidated three facilities into two, reducing overhead by $2.2 million and removing unnecessary material transfers and operating complexity. ## Support That Fits the Work Ahead You may need clarity on one part of the business or support for a broader improvement effort. We define the scope, leadership involvement, and deliverables around the challenge. 1. ### Focused In-Person Assessments Examine a defined business area using your data, leadership conversations, and observations of how work happens. Receive a clear view of the opportunities and recommended priorities. 2. ### Leadership Team Workshops Work through findings, evaluate trade-offs, and agree on actions together. Apply financial and operational concepts to the decisions your team is facing now. 3. ### One-on-One Leadership Coaching Help leaders build confidence, address implementation obstacles, and reinforce better decisions and management habits. 4. ### Project Leadership When Needed For engagements that require it, Hans can lead the improvement project, coordinate the work, and help maintain progress while your team implements the changes. ![Hans Bachmeier](https://boldvaluepartners.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Website%20images/Hans%20headshot%20v1.png?width=1254&height=1254&name=Hans%20headshot%20v1.png) ## Work With a Leader Who Has Led the Work Hans Bachmeier has led manufacturing businesses through acquisitions, portfolio changes, operational improvements, and team development.

[Talk to an Expert](https://meetings.hubspot.com/walt-melcher/talk-to-an-expert) ## What Leaders Want to Know ### Who is this work best suited for? Manufacturing and distribution businesses where leaders see opportunities to improve profitability, reduce complexity, or strengthen decision-making. The work requires leadership participation and a willingness to act on the findings. ### Can we focus on one part of the business? Yes. We can begin with a defined customer group, product portfolio, operational challenge, or leadership need. The initial scope establishes what we will examine and what your team will receive. ### What information will you need? The information depends on the scope. It may include customer and product sales, margins or costs, transaction records, inventory, and operating measures. We agree on the data needed and assess what is available before the work begins. ### Who implements the changes? Your leaders and teams implement the changes with Hans's coaching and support. Where needed, project leadership can be included in the engagement. Responsibilities and decision-making authority are agreed at the outset. ### How much time will our leadership team need? Participation depends on the challenge and engagement scope. We agree on the assessment activities, workshops, coaching sessions, and progress reviews before starting so leaders can plan their involvement. ### How are the scope and investment determined? We consider the business area, available data, complexity, deliverables, and level of implementation support. An initial conversation helps determine fit and the appropriate next step. ## Where Could Your Business Be More Profitable?
