3rd Operations Efficiency Radar

2011

The Operations Efficiency Radar for 2012 indicates the top levers for raising efficiency and helps CFOs plan for 2012.

Following the turnaround in the economic trend in 2010, German firms have by and large pursued a growth trajectory. Most companies hope to continue growing in 2012. But because of the ongoing euro crisis and unstable economic situation, companies are focusing on risk-aware growth. This is reflected in CFOs' top levers for 2012: developing a robust product portfolio and identifying further opportunities for growth. To minimize risk, CFOs plan to raise efficiency so their companies can react more flexibly to potential setbacks.

These are the results of the new study "Operations Efficiency Radar – Top Levers 2012" produced jointly by Roland Berger Strategy Consultants and the International Controller Association (Internationaler Controller Verein, ICV). More than 100 CFOs of manufacturing companies participated in the study.
