Summer 2020
Company: Rolls-Royce
​
Project Description:
The COVID-19 pandemic has completely disrupted the Aerospace and Defense industry and commercial flight may not be the same for a long time. Rolls Royce faces a lot of uncertainty and supply chain disruptions as a result. Our Rolls Royce team is working to identify risks and issues associated with implications of COVID-19 on aerospace sectors of Rolls Royce and develop treatments for identified risks.
​
This team engaged in a week-long scaled sprint in order to engage in expansive research and generate a high-level issue tree. We are utilizing the EPA’s IRIS program, an advanced risk management software. We are inputting issues into the program and this assesses the issues and allows us to understand how effective our potential solutions can be.
​
The Rolls Royce project was the very first Boilermaker Consulting Project.
​
Outcomes: Our team delivered this information in the form of an industry white paper and final presentation. Our work provided Rolls Royce with a fresh perspective on the risks and issues within their industry due to COVID-19 and has the potential to aid Rolls Royce in creating resiliency for future pandemic situations.

Company: Corteva Agriscience
​
Project Description:
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused drastic operational and financial challenges for various businesses. Companies in the Agricultural Chemicals industry are no exception to this situation. With an increased focus on cost optimization, a major client from this industry has provided our project team with data to take a closer look at its operations in the North America region to find potential for savings. More specifically, our team is analyzing their current purchasing and warehousing patterns.
​
​
BCG takes a holistic approach to all projects and has selected an interdisciplinary team of consultants with specialties ranging from Data Analytics and Human Capital to Supply Chain Planning & Procurement. The team has split off into two subgroups, one focusing on warehouse centralization and the other concentrating on potential cost savings with purchasing and transportation logistics.
​
We are utilizing Microsoft Excel to perform various analyses of purchasing behavior and manipulate the data with different criteria and factors. These analyses will result in the discovery of potential tier pricing opportunities and a detailed comparison of suppliers. Furthermore, we are employing mapping software such as eSpatial for heat mapping and QGIS3 for route mapping in order to examine transportation logistics and patterns. These tools help the team visualize transportation operations and find potential opportunities for centralization.
​
Outcomes: Our team produced a report and presentation of their recommendations; these recommendations resulted in decreased freight costs, decreased inventory and working capital levels, and potential warehousing footprint reduction. Ultimately, these outcomes helped mitigate the effects of COVID-19 on current business operations and will result in our client being more resilient against future consequential events and more viable in the long run.
​
Project Link: Our team signed an NDA with this client, so we are unable to share our final deliverable. If you would like more information on what we did, reach out to us using contact us page!
Company: Fortune 500 Oil Company
​
Project Description:
As the ACC has set forth new regulations for the plastics industry, requiring all plastics to be recycled by 2025 and 2030, the overall market and system for plastic manufacturing and recycling needs to change. The market continues to evolve, but the infrastructure and technology necessary to accomplish these standards are currently lacking. The Plastics to Chemicals team has been developing an industry guideline/white paper discussing the steps and areas key to meeting ACC standards, which would allow consumers, manufacturers, and recyclers to generate a circular economy.
The Plastics to Chemicals team has utilized the McKinsey model and issue-tree methodology to conduct a marketplace analysis on the feedstock value chain and the potential for new plastic processing technologies. By analyzing international recycling efforts to collect, sort, and process varying assortments of plastic waste, the team has been focusing on key systematic and regulatory changes necessary for a circular economy to exist in the US.
