P&G to recast ops to get more agile, speed up growth
India will be among the first pilot markets for this plan, they said.
P&G's operations in India are currently organised into four entities — P&G Health, Gillette (specialising in shaving products), P&G Health & Hygiene and P&G Home Products.
The company may evaluate the possibility of having a more simplified operating structure that integrates portfolios and combines the heft of the supply chain with a leaner cost structure. This was internally announced on Thursday last week.
P&G global CEO Joe Moeller has been seeking to transform the company's organisational structure to follow an «integrated growth strategy».
The reorganisation will help simplify day-to-day decision-making, but constructive disruption, a theme playing out globally, will be a priority, said executives.
The restructuring exercise will involve assessing technology to make operations, especially the supply chain and technology, more efficient. For instance, the company could look at democratising data and allow its access across functions and organisations instead of just relevant teams and departments.
«Learning and exploring ways to deliver better outcomes is something we do every day at P&G. This effort is no different.
We are squarely focused on accelerating growth and value creation in service to consumers, customers, employees, society and shareholders,» said a P&G spokesperson.
The producer of popular brands such as Whisper, Vicks, Gillette, Oral-B, Tide and Pantene has lately been intensifying its commitment. This approach includes maintaining a robust brand portfolio and ensuring excellence, productivity and positive disruption throughout the value chain.
