McKinsey’s Chemicals Practice in Russia and the CIS serves producers of petrochemicals, key inorganic materials, polymers, cement products, and mineral fertilizers. We have extensive experience in operational improvement, strategy, and organizational development in the chemicals industry and related sectors.
We use proven approaches to help our clients enhance their operational performance. We collaborate with clients to coach to employees and to build critical capabilities in production and maintenance, as well as in functions such as supply chain management and procurement. We identify and help capture cost reductions, productivity improvements, and value-growth opportunities throughout the production chain by applying best practices and the latest tools for improving operations, tailored to the specifics of Russia's business context.
Our strategy work in the chemicals sector focuses on identifying the most promising business areas to ensure a company’s growth on developing roadmaps to create sustainable competitive advantage. We also support the implementation of large projects, including initiatives to develop new products and build new companies. Our teams develop strategies to help innovations come to life, launch new products, and bring them to market. We have helped chemicals companies set up efficient R&D units and adopt benchmarking processes to assess the performance of innovative solutions.
Our support extends to designing and implementing major investment programs, where we work closely with clients to ensure maximum return on investments. We develop systems and tools to help our clients manage large capital projects, implement them in the shortest time possible, and keep them within budget.
Improving organizational effectiveness and transforming key processes are also significant parts of our work with chemicals companies. We design and implement organizational models that help our clients grow, providing merger-management support to build a single corporate structure and optimal organization for the continuous-production environment of chemicals manufacturing. Our M&A support also includes using processes and tools to measure growth and synergies from mergers, helping clients to meet their targets
