Private equity firms are under constant pressure to improve EBITDA across their portfolio companies. What’s changing is how that growth is achieved. 

Beyond financial structuring and revenue expansion, more firms are focusing on how operations are actually performing, particularly across supply chain and manufacturing, where inefficiencies in lead times, inventory, and logistics continue to limit margin expansion.

In this playbook, you’ll learn:

• Where value is lost across operations: Identify how lead times, excess inventory, and logistics inefficiencies reduce margin performance.
• How operations shape EBITDA: Understand how manufacturing and supply chain decisions influence cost, cash flow, and working capital.
• How to improve financial performance: Explore simple ways to improve margins through operational changes such as nearshoring.
• What this looks like in practice: Review a real example of how operational improvements translate into measurable EBITDA gains.
