Safwa Packaging Portfolio Review

Case Study
Holding and investment
2024

Overview

Safwa asked Tavra Group to establish a comparable view of portfolio performance and identify practical value-creation priorities. The review covered commercial mix, plant utilisation, procurement, working capital, management capability and capital requests across three businesses.

Challenge

Each company reported performance differently and used separate assumptions for capacity, margin and investment returns. Board discussions focused on monthly variance rather than value-creation choices. Capital requests were reviewed individually without a common threshold or portfolio view.

Operational Excellence

Operational Excellence improves the reliability, speed and economics of day-to-day work. Tavra Group diagnoses how value moves through an organisation, identifies loss and variability, then works with frontline and management teams to redesign processes. The emphasis is on control, capability and measurable operating routines - not one-off cost cutting that returns after the project closes.
