Our Services

We will assist you in developing an overview of your business and your supply chain network utilizing a set of questions and interviews. Looking at the whole business with fresh eyes will help us zero in on your biggest opportunities for improvement. Although no one understands your business better than you, you can get lost in the day to day details. We help you step back to look at the big picture to find the right areas to target that will help your business improve.

Supply Chain Audit

Looking at every area of the supply chain from your customer back through to your suppliers, the audit brings more focus to the planning aspects of your business. This allows us to prioritize your resources in areas that will provide you the best return, for both your customer as well as your bottom line.

Material Flow

How many times do you “touch” your material during its trip from raw material to your customer? Our team will help you analyze the actual flow process in your facility, identify and highlight areas where flow is not optimal, and provide you with plans to improve flow.

Process Mapping

After an audit and material flow analysis we will lead your team in the development of a process map, tracking designated items through portions of your work system to insure full understanding of the steps required to manage the process flow in your facility. This will lead to a Value Stream Map, where key items are selected for process flow improvement.

Operations Review

Our staff can provide improvements for operational effectiveness in all areas of your supply chain and help reduce risks associated with those operations.

Program/Project Management

Warehouse Management

Inventory management

For most companies, inventory makes up a large part of their dollar investment. Unfortunately, most consider counting inventory as actually managing inventory. We will help you see inventory in a different perspective and possibly one of the quickest improvement potentials in your business by truly managing inventory, not just counting it.

Transportation Analysis

The volatility of fuel price alone have become one of the key components of totaled delivered cost. Competing against larger corporations for these services has become an even bigger problem. Our staff can help; Whether your firm is purchasing transportation services or managing your own fleet, we can assist in comparative analysis of both and focus on delivered costs to your customers.
