An operational due diligence consultant performs a rigorous evaluation of a target company's internal capabilities, manufacturing systems, and supply chains. Rather than reviewing balance sheets alone, the consultant analyzes plant floor operations, equipment maintenance, workforce productivity, and workflow bottlenecks. This thorough review helps acquirers identify operational risks, confirm production capacities, and uncover practical opportunities for post-acquisition EBITDA expansion.
