Forward Thinking To Drive Increased Efficiency

The automotive industry has proven to be an extremely dynamic and cost competitive space. The trend towards an increasingly more global focus only increases the need for a business to be nimble, responsive and creative in their approach to this ever-changing landscape.

Silverman Consulting’s team of experienced professionals understands these dynamics and has worked with Tier I, II and III manufacturers, distributors and service providers to develop and implement meaningful strategic plans. Our efforts are focused on reducing costs, developing a well-thought-out short and long-term strategy and improving efficiencies. Ultimately, our objectives are directed towards increasing profitability within a company.

Strategic Planning

• Assist in strategic merger and acquisition initiatives in order to leverage people and assets to create long-term growth plans.

Profit Maximization Initiatives
