Can you assess our S&OP and supply chain maturity?

Yes. Maturity assessments benchmark current-state capability across demand planning, supply planning, inventory policy, supplier management, and executive S&OP cadence — then produce a prioritized roadmap tied to business outcomes. The output distinguishes quick wins from foundational governance work so investment is sequenced correctly.

Do you implement WMS or TMS systems?

I lead the business side of WMS and TMS implementations — requirements, configuration validation, integration design with ERP and finance, UAT, and cutover. Technical implementation remains with the platform integrator. This is where most WMS/TMS programs derail: excellent software configured against outdated or incomplete process design.

How do KPIs fit into the engagement?

Every engagement defines a KPI framework before any system change lands: inventory accuracy, OTIF (on-time in-full), perfect-order rate, days-of-supply, freight cost per unit, and cycle-count hit rate are common. KPIs are instrumented into reporting from day one so the N3 — Nurture loop has a signal to act on.

What kind of ROI is realistic from a supply chain engagement?

Typical outcomes for mid-market engagements include 15–30% inventory reduction without service degradation, 5–10 point OTIF improvement, and procurement-cycle compression from weeks to days. The larger leverage, however, is operational readiness for automation — broken processes automated faster simply fail faster.

Challenge

A new provincial distribution authority had to stand up procurement, warehousing, and logistics for a regulated consumer category from scratch — with no legacy SOPs, a 14-month legislative deadline, and mandatory audit-grade traceability.

Approach

Designed future-state procurement, receiving, putaway, pick-pack-ship, and reverse-logistics flows; authored 40+ SOPs and compliance controls; built KPI frameworks covering inventory accuracy, OTIF, and cycle time; orchestrated integrated testing across WMS, ERP, and the regulator’s reporting portal.

Outcome

Operations stood up on deadline with a 98.4% first-month inventory accuracy, 100% audit-readiness on launch day, and an OTIF rate that climbed from 91% to 97% within the first 90 days of live operations.
