Restructuring Consulting

Our approach – The four proven phases of restructuring

Phase 1: Creating transparency (days 1–14)

We begin with a comprehensive, fact-based analysis of the company’s current state. We examine cost structures, liquidity, ongoing initiatives, and operational weaknesses. A preliminary analysis and benchmarking provide a clear picture of the action areas. First immediate measures to reduce cash outflows are initiated.

Phase 2: Initiating stabilization (days 15–40)

The next step is to ensure short-term operational capability. We address supply chain bottlenecks, process risks, and operational weaknesses. A crisis management team is established, KPI and inventory reporting systems are introduced, and liquidity and working capital are stabilized. Relief measures for logistics and supply performance are implemented operationally.

Phase 3: Creating value – Value Enhancement (days 41–100)

We develop a future-proof target model for organization, processes, and networks. Structures are realigned, roles and decision-making paths are defined, and digitalization potentials are realistically leveraged. The action plan becomes a value enhancement program with clearly defined outcome targets.

Phase 4: Implementation and anchoring (from day 101)

In the final phase, we support the operational implementation – tightly led by a central PMO. With standardized processes, a stringent KPI system, and practical implementation sprints, we ensure that results are sustainably anchored. The organization is positioned for scaling and transformation.

Our teams bring many years of experience from more than 3,000 industrial projects and more than 400 customers worldwide– many of them in a direct PE context. We know the logic of buyouts, carve-outs and holding phases and have in-depth knowledge of technical production, logistics and organizational contexts. From the plant to the portfolio – we think and act with a focus on implementation.

Our levers – Where our restructuring delivers impact

TMG focuses on restructuring areas that generate measurable results – liquidity, organization, and scalability. Depending on the situation and goals, we identify and activate the key levers.

We start with financial stabilization. By optimizing working capital and forming task forces for critical supply chains, combined with clear crisis management, we quickly relieve operational pressure.

On the structural level, we realign organization, roles, and governance, reduce complexity and overhead, and prioritize digitalization potentials that directly enhance productivity and transparency.

Finally, we ensure scalability and future viability through standardized processes, modular organizational concepts, and a KPI system that tracks and guides progress. Proven solutions are rolled out across locations, functions, and hierarchy levels.
