Product Portfolio Optimization

for industrial companies

Ensuring value creation, managing diversity, and using resources effectively

A strong product portfolio determines profitability, innovation, and competitiveness. Many industrial companies struggle with overly broad product lines, unclear prioritization, and the high costs associated with product variants.

TMG Consultants helps manufacturing companies strategically design their product portfolios, manage them efficiently, and position them for the future.

Strategically design the product portfolio

Portfolio Analysis and Optimization

We provide transparency regarding the value contribution and cost-effectiveness of individual products and product lines.

Based on quantitative data, market analyses, and technical evaluations, we identify unprofitable segments, redundant structures, and new areas of opportunity.

This allows companies to streamline their product lines, prioritize innovation, and focus on profitable products.

Efficiency through modular platforms

Modular and platform strategy

Being able to provide customers with the right mix of products and services is one of the most important capabilities of any company. It is particularly important to successfully position the right innovations on the market, open up new markets with the existing products and simultaneously critically question the existing portfolio.

Using our portfolio analysis methods in conjunction with the analysis of product, supplier, and market data, we provide customized insights into existing product portfolios. Our extensive experience as portfolio managers across numerous client projects enables us to work with you to identify the right ideas for new and innovative products and successfully tap into new markets. Throughout this process, we always keep one thing in mind: the needs of your customers.
