Technical and Commercial Due Diligence
Product Costing and Operational Efficiency Due Diligence for Pharma and Medical Device Plants
On-site, PAN India: understand the true cost of making each product, and where efficiency and margins can improve.
Strong revenues can hide inefficient manufacturing. Idle capacity, slow changeovers, manual processes and costly raw material sourcing all reduce margins. These factors directly affect what a manufacturing business is worth and how quickly an investment pays back.
Suchigo Consulting provides operational due diligence for pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturing facilities, for acquirers, investors and manufacturers from India and overseas. We assess how efficiently the plant converts capacity, materials and people into saleable products, and separate high-performing product lines from those that draw down margins.
What We Assess
A practical view of how the plant performs
We review operations, materials and pricing to show where capacity is being used, where costs build up and what the findings mean for the business.
| Area | What we review | What it tells you |
|---|---|---|
| Capacity utilisation | Installed versus actual capacity, Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), downtime patterns, changeover times and bottlenecks | How much more the facility can produce without new capital investment |
| Process automation | Manual versus automated operations across assembly, welding, inspection and packaging, and the likely return on automation | Where automation can lower costs, improve consistency and reduce manpower dependence |
| Strategic raw material sourcing | Bill of Materials (BOM) costs, key suppliers, single-source dependencies, purchase prices and alternative sources | Whether material costs and supply risks are under control |
| Competitor pricing analysis | Unit production cost (materials, conversion and overheads) compared with market price bands in domestic and export markets | Whether products are priced competitively and where margins can improve |
Value for Investors and Owners
See the earnings behind the operation
Buyers often value a manufacturing business on its current earnings. An operational due diligence shows whether those earnings are sustainable and where there is real upside. Our assessment helps you:
Understand product viability
Flag product lines that may not be commercially viable at their current cost and price.
Plan capital expenditure
Build a realistic view of post-acquisition capital expenditure and operational priorities.
