SKILLAPT consulting engagementCase 01

Operational Turnaround

Fiberschool

Challenge· Illustrative context

The objective was to restore growth through an operational turnaround. In businesses at this stage, revenue is often held back by operational issues such as inconsistent execution, unclear priorities, and limited visibility into performance, which make it harder to serve customers reliably and capture available demand.

Approach· Illustrative context

SKILLAPT applied an operational turnaround strategy. A turnaround of this kind typically starts by assessing current operations and isolating the constraints that limit performance, then prioritizes the highest-impact improvements and puts clear KPIs in place so leadership can track progress and sustain momentum.

Results

30%
Revenue growth within one fiscal semester following an operational turnaround strategy

Growth of this scale within a single semester shows how quickly focused operational improvements can translate into top-line results for a smaller business.

Distribution Operations

Raisman Corporation

Challenge· Illustrative context

Distribution businesses compete on cost and service at the same time. Typical pressures include growing indirect overhead, such as administrative, supervisory, and support costs, combined with customer expectations for consistent, on-time delivery.

Approach· Illustrative context

Operations like this generally improve through process standardization, elimination of non-value-adding activities, clear roles and accountability, and KPI-based management of fulfillment and delivery performance. The key is treating cost efficiency and service reliability as one operating system rather than competing goals.

Results

50%
Reduction in indirect operational costs
99%+
On-time delivery

Cutting indirect costs in half while sustaining on-time delivery above 99% demonstrates that leaner operations and higher service levels can be achieved together.

Manufacturing Efficiency

Teikon

Challenge· Illustrative context

In manufacturing, direct labor and raw materials are typically the largest controllable costs. Inefficient workflows, unbalanced capacity, scrap, and material waste can steadily erode margins and competitiveness.

Approach· Illustrative context

Lean manufacturing principles offer a proven framework for this challenge: analyzing workflows and bottlenecks, balancing capacity with demand, improving labor productivity, and reducing material waste through better planning, quality control, and sourcing discipline.

Results

33%
Reduction in direct labor costs
$1M
Annual raw material savings

Savings on both labor and materials show how efficiency gains on the production floor compound into a meaningful, recurring improvement in cost competitiveness.

Supply Chain & Inventory Planning

Dell Computers

Challenge· Illustrative context

In a fast-moving technology environment, inventory loses value quickly and demand can shift rapidly. Excess stock ties up working capital, while inaccurate records or weak forecasts put material availability and customer delivery at risk.

Approach· Illustrative context

These pressures typically call for rigorous demand planning and forecasting, close alignment between supply and demand, disciplined inventory control practices such as cycle counting, and consistent tracking of inventory days, accuracy, and forecast performance.

Halving inventory days while maintaining near-perfect inventory accuracy reflects the level of planning discipline that frees working capital without compromising availability.

Selected outcomes from SKILLAPT consulting engagements and the founder's previous executive leadership roles. Results vary by project and business conditions.

Challenge and Approach sections describe illustrative operational context and the types of strategies that address it; they are not detailed accounts of specific project activities. Results for Raisman Corporation, Teikon, and Dell Computers were achieved during the founder's previous corporate employment, not by SKILLAPT Solutions.
