Merger Integration
M+C prepares supply chain for Day 1, designs the merger organization, and quantifies synergy targets with demand plans.
The Procurement & Supply Chain Specialists in Your Integration
Most companies bring in a large strategy firm to run the overall merger, and for enterprise-wide integration, that is often the right call. But procurement and supply chain is where a great deal of the synergy is won or lost, and it rewards specialists who have done the work over generalists learning on your timeline.
That is the piece clients ask M+C to own. We carve out the procurement and supply chain workstream and run it end to end, working alongside the Bains and McKinseys, not against them. They lead the broader integration; we make sure the supply chain delivers its share of the value.
It is a large part of what we do. From Day 1 readiness and organization design through synergy capture and key talent, we bring the full M+C approach to the part of the merger that decides whether synergy targets are real, and whether they hold long after close.
