“Supply chains are under more pressure than at any point in living memory. Sustainable supply chain transformation is never just a technology or process problem. It is a people, process and technology problem — and it requires leadership that can hold all three simultaneously.“
I have worked on supply chain transformation programmes across manufacturing, energy, retail, logistics, maritime and FMCG — and the consistent lesson is that the organisations that succeed are the ones that get the people and process dimensions right before they specify the technology.
What this covers:
End-to-end supply chain assessment and diagnostics: Mapping the current state across plan, source, make, deliver and return to identify the gaps, inefficiencies and structural weaknesses that are limiting performance.
Network design and optimisation: Evaluating the supply chain network against current and future demand patterns, cost structures and resilience requirements.
Inventory strategy and working capital reduction: Identifying and eliminating excess inventory while maintaining or improving service levels — with a track record of 24% inventory reduction with a 17 percentage point improvement in service levels.
Warehouse management transformation: End-to-end warehouse management policy, process and practice maturity frameworks — implemented across portfolios of up to eight international sites.
Procurement strategy and sourcing optimisation: Supplier base rationalisation, sourcing strategy design and procurement process improvement.
Organisational design: Integrating supply chain functions — including logistics and distribution — under unified leadership, eliminating the structural siloes that impede end-to-end performance.
KPI framework design: Building the performance management infrastructure that makes supply chain performance visible, comparable and improvable across functions and geographies.
Supply chain technology: Selection and implementation oversight across ERP, WMS, TMS, demand planning and advanced manufacturing technologies.
