Case Highlight

Global Pharmaceutical Company | Cash Flow Office & Inventory Management

Helped a top-20 pharmaceutical company consolidate indirect procurement across 14 countries, standardize category management practices, and implement a center-led procurement operating model.

The Challenge

A global pharmaceutical company established a Cash Management Office to sustain $900M to $1B in free cash flow. After aggressively pursuing DPO and DSO improvements that plateaued, the organization faced increasing pressure on DIO as the primary remaining driver of cash flow improvement. Structural challenges including siloed accountability, technology without behavioral change, and cross-functional complexity had blocked meaningful progress.

The Approach

Kryus Ventures implemented a structured inventory optimization mobilization approach focused on both the technical and organizational dimensions of performance. Working across three pillars, we mobilized a cross-functional operating model to drive alignment and shared accountability, established a data-driven inventory baseline with standardized KPIs and a single version of the truth, and drove execution through a jointly owned Contract for Change, a roadmap with clear accountability, metrics, and governance.

Financial Impact:

10-20% reduction in inventory levels, driving $50M-$150M+ in working capital release
15-30% reduction in obsolete and expired inventory
8-15% reduction in inventory carrying costs

Operational Performance:

20-40% reduction in stockouts and backorders
15-25% improvement in inventory turns
20-35% improvement in forecast accuracy
30-50% reduction in cross-functional decision-making cycle time
Inventory policy compliance improved from under 60% to over 90%
