Supply Chain Operations

Practical solutions for complex supply chain problems

Our supply chain consultants evaluate your distribution and manufacturing operations to develop a tailored operational strategy for your organization. We help you gain full visibility of your supply chain and design repeatable process that lower costs and improve service levels. By analyzing and improving components of your operations — including end-to-end process optimization (order-to-cash and procure to pay), labor requirements, facility design and technology selection — we help you maximize supply chain value, providing expert recommendations and implementation support.

Innovative, practical solutions that drive meaningful supply chain outcomes.

As it becomes more challenging to make confident choices about the tools and platforms to use in your business, you need a partner with world-class supply chain expertise and leading solutions in business technology transformation.

Operations diagnostic and design
We help determine your optimal warehouse and DC layout, optimize processes to increase efficiency, capacity, and operational performance; and identify opportunities to reduce cost. Solutions include space and capacity planning, inventory profiling and slotting, material handling design, conceptual (block) and detail warehouse design, automation feasibility assessments and cost-to-serve analytics.
Distribution operating model and 3PL selection
Our advisory/selection capabilities help organizations determine what the correct operating model is for their distribution operations, whether that be insourced or outsourced, selecting the right partner for their business or ensuring their 3PL partner is performing in accordance with contractual requirements — with a goal of maximizing service and minimizing cost.
Technology selection and implementation
Our supply chain consulting practice helps organizations level up their supply chain operations and solve complex problems with emerging technologies and agile methodologies. From business case development to vendor selection and choosing the right warehouse technology (like WMS, LMS, ASRS, AGV or MES), to system implementation and PMO, we are here to help.
Post-sales support and strategy
Many organizations find themselves focused exclusively on sales, overlooking the high costs and margin erosion associated with the post-sales support of their products in the form of returns, repairs, and warranty operations. Our services reduce these overlooked costs through services such as insource/outsource determination, diagnostic/software reflash implementation, warranty management strategy, NTF reduction, and control tower dashboards.
Assessing order-to-cash and procure-to-pay
We identify solutions that provide improved control and visibility over the entire lifecycle of a transaction — from the way an item is ordered to the way the final invoice is processed and paid. We strive to provide full insight into cash flow and financial commitments, streamlining processes and the cycle times that are both labor-intensive and costly to an organization.
Transformation support
Through transformation planning and implementation support, we provide the analytical skills to accelerate the implementation timeline while minimizing the inherent risk tied to transformation. Our PMO experts specialize in resource planning, risk Identification and mitigation, change management strategy, financial analysis and business case support and implementation execution.
