Supply Chain Solutions
Partner to Grow
To remain viable, supply chains must transcend traditional planning, procurement, manufacturing and deployment. Supply chain leaders must drive a robust pipeline of new ideas to ensure products and services remain competitive. Project teams must now leverage analytics and new ways of working to drive innovative solutions to business challenges. Meanwhile, managers must know how to implement new, often complex, ideas efficiently and effectively to rapidly deliver results. These demands are not insignificant, and the right path is not often obvious. We develop solutions and deliver results, side-by-side with your team, for new break-through levels of performance in your manufacturing and logistics organizations.
Our supply chain solutions are specifically designed to improve competitiveness and deliver sustained value.
New Product Development
New product development is about managing a systematic approach to innovation. Our facilitative approach is geared toward generating, prioritizing, refining and implementing new ideas, governed by business fundamentals. We apply lean thinking to Product Development to help clients reduce R&D costs and improve time to market while ensuring investment risks are aligned with potential market rewards.
Network Planning & Redesign
Pursuing the “perfect order” requires planful consideration of market dynamics, understanding current and future capabilities, existing locations, space, cost, and lead time constraints. We help clients optimize supply chain networks by analyzing options, then aligning and delivering practical, obtainable solutions.
Supply Strategy & Management
Cost reduction and risk management are top priorities for most procurement executives, and they face challenges attracting and developing teams with the skills to execute on their procurement strategy. We help fortify companies by developing agile product and supplier strategies that pragmatically reduce enterprise cost and risk.
Operational Excellence
Operational Excellence is the relentless pursuit of eliminating waste from a customer perspective. Applying Lean principles across manufacturing and logistics operations, we improve speed, enhance quality, and reduce complexity and cost. Whether planning, making, storing or shipping, our robust approach and proven results boost service levels, stakeholder engagement, and profitability.
