Identify proposed headcount targets and required efficiencies at specified run-rate targets to support a 50% reduction in cost per gram by year end 2009. Department management was to be engaged in the overall process and implementation of the plan.

We assisted our client in determining the optimal org structure at specified run rates and benchmarked data against other sites. Required efficiencies to enable headcount reduction with increased span of control were determined. A matrix model of run rates and headcount by department was developed.

Headcount targets were identified to reach improved operational performance goals with no impact to business operations. Opportunities for staff to improve and build skill sets were increased, and opportunities for displaced employees were identified.
