Button Button Case Studies Global Systemically Important Financial Institution (G-SIFI) implements a third-party risk management (TPRM) program to meet global regulatory standards Protiviti partnered with a G-SIFI to design and implement a third-party risk management (TPRM) program in alignment with global regulatory standards with an additional goal of aligning program development with available technologies within the client’s environment. The company’s current TPRM program relied heavily on manual processes, data collection, and reporting which limited reporting on the overall program – status, risks, and performance. Protiviti completed a pilot of the inherent risk questionnaire across ~300 engagements to confirm scoring logic and approach and aligned the TPRM program to the revised issue management standard and procedures. In the end, enhanced risk assessment methodologies that align with regulatory expectations across the client’s global locations were implemented and due diligence methodologies and templates that provide more consistent results across subject matter areas were provided by Protiviti. Global Manufacturer of Technology Products revamps SIOP and warehouse operations to sustain growth A major U.S.-based manufacturer of technology products realisd its success was outpacing its capabilities in two key areas: sales, inventory and operations planning (SIOP) and warehouse management. The company’s foremost goal in SIOP was to increase top-line revenue by being more responsive to growth in demand. Protiviti conducted a comprehensive assessment of the organisation’s capabilities, analysed process metrics and researched emerging functionalities that could significantly upgrade SIOP capabilities. The result was a detailed list of recommendations that included: redesigned workflow and stakeholder engagement, better definition of the roles and responsibilities of key personnel, improved data flow among departments, substantially increased automation, and new metrics to improve visibility and accountability. Protiviti worked closely with IT and warehouse personnel to document business requirements for the D365 warehouse management system. The collaboration led the firm to redesign and update processes to account for both current and future workflows.
