Supply Chain

Supply Chain projects focus on reducing Total Costs by eliminating transactions, reducing inventory, accelerating delivery and improving quality. Supply Chain success is dependent on each supplier's ability to enhance performance. We target key suppliers to enhance tactical communications, promote performance accountability and encourage process improvement ownership. We offer expertise in the following areas:

• Process Improvement Programs for Suppliers
• Lead Kaizen Events
• Quality Assessments
• Streamline Tactical Communication
• Cycle Time Reduction, On-Time Delivery
• Inventory Reduction & Programs

Case Example: Supplier Performance

A manufacture of products for the Oil & Gas industry experienced long, inconsistent lead times for forgings. The variability in delivery negatively impacted on-time delivery, production planning and inventory levels. We worked on-site, directly with the supplier's process improvement team. The team implemented Lean Manufacturing principles to reduce Total Costs.

Specific results

• Reduced Cycle Time - 32 to 11 weeks
• Reduced Inventory - $14MM to $2.3MM
• Added Value - Supplier "roughed" product
• Controlled process with Bar Code system
• Trained Analysts and Operators

Our approach improves the overall efficiency of your Supply Chain to reduce Total Costs. We team with your key leaders and suppliers to streamline transactions, improve communications and implement innovative strategies.
