What it is
COBI Sustainability is a proven methodology to create rapid baselining & benchmarking and opportunity assessment being applied to sustainability in operations. Improvement opportunities for GHG emission, waste & packaging and water consumption across scope 1~3 are identified through peer to peer benchmarking at a product and process level. COBI Sustainability is based on proven COBI methodology and its key characteristics that has been applied in over 400 supply chains and 700 plants across 13 CPG categories.
Apple-to-apple comparison
High granularity of KPI
Full confidentiality
Transformation/ continuous improvement support
Rapid process
Efficient data collection
COBI Sustainability provides benchmarking along 3 dimensions
How it works
1
Production steps and technologies map
Evaluate the financial and customer-facing profiles of participants
Review all product types and packaging variants produced in the network
Map production steps within each plant to standardized value chain
2
Granular data
Collect detailed data using strictly standard definitions and common approach
Approach allows for central data collection with deep-dives that are easy to scale
3
Structural drivers for cost differences
Define drivers for cost differences across the whole sample of plants
- Additional or missing production steps
- Product mix
- Packaging formats
- Filling lines technologies
- Batch size
- SKU complexity, etc.
4
State-of-the-art normalization
Identify most common variant and set as a standard production unit for all plants
Calculate normalization factor to account for all structural differences
Convert volumes of all plants to standard production units
Apply other complex correlation-based normalization
Highlight other structural drivers that explain complexity of the plants
5
Benchmarking and opportunity estimation
Benchmark true performance, set well-founded aspirations and define action plan
Establish a regular internal benchmarking and best practices sharing
What the output looks like
COBI Sustainability benchmarking is conducted on 3 levels
Rapid baselining and benchmarking
Rapid baseline and benchmarks at a company and product level across 3 key sustainability dimensions: GHG emissions, water & packaging
