Challenges

Supply chains fail when visibility and anticipation are lacking

01

Fragmented visibility

Data scattered across ERP, WMS, and TMS systems. No consolidated real-time view of flows, inventory, or orders.

02

Reactive planning

Slow S&OP cycles, unreliable forecasts, and last-minute trade-offs. Teams react instead of anticipating.

03

Poorly balanced inventory

Overstock on some SKUs, stockouts on others. High carrying costs and insufficient service levels.

04

Low resilience

Unmapped supplier dependencies, non-existent continuity plans, and delayed incident response.

Approach

Five phases to achieving supply chain excellence

01
Diagnose
Establish the baseline

Flow mapping, current KPI measurement (OTIF, inventory, costs, lead times), bottleneck identification, and visibility gap analysis. Benchmark and supply chain maturity assessment.

Deliverables
  • Flow mapping
  • KPI baseline
  • Maturity matrix
02
Design
Define the target state

Target operating model definition: S&OP processes, IT architecture (WMS/TMS/APS), and organizational structure. Business case and phased roadmap.

Deliverables
  • Target operating model
  • IT architecture
  • Business case
03
Instrument
Build the control tower

Operational visibility setup: real-time KPIs, alerts, exception management, and dashboards. System integration (ERP, WMS, TMS, carriers).

Deliverables
  • Operational dashboards
  • Alert system
  • System integrations
04
Optimize
Deliver quick wins & transformation

Phased deployment: inventory optimization, forecast improvement, S&OP redesign, and WMS/TMS implementation. Impact measurement at each phase.

Deliverables
  • Optimization plan
  • Prioritized use cases
  • ROI measurement
05
Sustain
Embed continuous excellence

S&OP ritual anchoring, KPI governance, and continuous improvement. Resilience planning and supply chain risk management.

Deliverables
  • S&OP rituals
  • Supply governance
  • Resilience plan

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What supply chain scope do you cover?

End-to-end: from demand forecasting to final delivery. We can focus on a specific area (inventory, transportation, S&OP) or drive a comprehensive transformation, depending on your priorities and maturity level.

Control tower: tool or process?

Both. We typically start with process design and KPI definition using existing tools (BI), then deploy a dedicated solution if volume and complexity warrant the investment.

How do you measure supply chain ROI?

We establish a baseline before intervention, then track key KPIs: OTIF, inventory turnover, logistics costs, stockout rate, and lead times. We work together to define metrics and measurement frequency.

We already have a WMS/TMS. What can you do?

We optimize your existing setup before considering replacement. This includes configuration audits, integration with other systems, and process improvements. We only recommend new solutions when truly necessary.
