An industrial conglomerate engaged us to evaluate a specialised parts manufacturer in Germany, drawn by claims of supreme efficiency and robust margins. The target asset appeared to run a flawless operation on paper, boasting industry-leading output metrics. Yet, a closer look at their historical delivery times hinted at sporadic delays that the seller dismissed as minor anomalies. Our client required absolute certainty that the factory could handle a planned production increase without requiring heavy capital investment.

Our operational intelligence team went directly to the factory floor to trace the workflow from raw material intake to final dispatch. We discovered that a critical component of the assembly line was operating at maximum capacity with frequent, undocumented downtime. The efficiency was achieved by running equipment into the ground, not through superior process design. This Bright View illuminated a hidden need for immediate CAPEX to replace aging machinery. Armed with this verification, the client renegotiated the purchase price downward to account for the necessary upgrades, transforming a potential operational crisis into a fair deal.
