Services

Consultancy-led support across procurement and supply chain

Choose the area that best matches your requirement. Each pathway is designed to reduce risk, improve performance, and create repeatable routines that teams can run with confidence.

Operations strategy

Turning intent into an operational plan teams can run

Operations strategy is about translating objectives into priorities, routines, and decision frameworks. The focus is clarity — so teams know what matters, how decisions are made, and what success looks like.

Define priorities and constraints

We clarify objectives, constraints, and trade-offs to create a shared direction.

Client receives: prioritised objectives and constraints

Design operating routines

Decision cadences, review rhythms, and escalation paths are made explicit.

Client receives: operating cadence and decision map

Align suppliers and functions

External partners and internal teams are aligned to the same operating logic.

Client receives: alignment framework and responsibilities

Embed and review

We support rollout and adjust the model as it meets real operational conditions.

Client receives: review cadence and improvement loop
Sustainability

Practical sustainability with measurable requirements

Sustainability is treated as a set of requirements alongside performance and continuity of supply. The objective is to make credible improvements that remain operationally achievable — with supplier capability and compliance built in.

Define what “sustainable” means for your operation

We establish measurable criteria (materials, recyclability, compliance, reporting) that match the realities of your supply chain.

Client receives: sustainability criteria and decision rules

Assess options against performance and risk

Material changes and supplier claims are tested against capability, lead-times, quality, and continuity of supply.

Client receives: options review with risks and trade-offs

Validate suppliers and documentation

We support evidence checks, compliance needs, and supplier documentation to reduce reputational risk.

Client receives: supplier evidence pack and checks

Rollout with a controlled plan

Changes are implemented with sampling, acceptance criteria, and a rollout plan designed to avoid disruption.

Client receives: rollout plan and acceptance criteria
Operational performance

Improve delivery, quality, and supplier responsiveness

Operational performance is improved through simple governance routines: clear measures, an agreed cadence, and fast issue resolution. The intent is to reduce noise, build reliability, and create a repeatable way of working with suppliers.

Define measures and thresholds

We agree what “good” looks like — OTIF, quality, lead-time adherence, responsiveness — with clear thresholds and ownership.

Client receives: KPI set, definitions, and thresholds

Set a cadence (weekly / monthly) that actually runs

We establish a lightweight meeting rhythm, scorecard format, and an escalation path that prevents drift.

Client receives: scorecard template and cadence plan

Resolve issues early (quality, delivery, supply risk)

We introduce a clear method to log issues, assign owners, and confirm corrective actions — without repeated firefighting.

Client receives: issue log and action tracker

Lock in improvement with repeatable routines

Changes are documented, embedded, and reviewed so progress is sustained even when teams and volumes change.

Client receives: governance routine and documented actions
New products

Launch-ready sourcing with supplier control built in

New products fail when timelines slip, specifications drift, or suppliers are not operationally ready. This pathway supports sourcing, sampling, onboarding, and governance — so launches are repeatable rather than improvised.

Clarify the brief and launch constraints

We lock specification, compliance needs, target costs, lead times, and what “launch-ready” means in practice.

Client receives: structured brief and launch criteria

Supplier discovery with capability screening

We identify suppliers and screen for quality systems, capacity, technical fit, and the ability to scale beyond first order.

Client receives: qualified supplier shortlist

Sampling plan, iteration, and decisions

Sampling is run like a project: clear rounds, feedback loops, and decision points to prevent endless rework.

Client receives: sampling tracker and decision log

Onboarding and launch governance

We confirm documentation, onboarding steps, lead-time controls, and a light governance cadence post-launch.

Client receives: onboarding checklist and launch cadence
Procurement

Controlled sourcing with clarity on cost, risk, and suppliers

Procurement works best when decisions are structured, comparable, and repeatable. This approach focuses on supplier selection, benchmarking, and governance — without over-engineering.

Define sourcing requirements and decision criteria

We agree what matters most — cost drivers, quality expectations, lead times, and risk — before engaging suppliers.

Client receives: sourcing brief and criteria set

Benchmark suppliers on a like-for-like basis

Supplier proposals are structured so comparisons are transparent and defensible.

Client receives: benchmark and comparison view

Support negotiations with evidence

Negotiations are grounded in data — volumes, specifications, and market context — not assumptions.

Client receives: negotiation inputs and scenario view

Put simple governance in place

Once selected, suppliers are managed through clear reviews, measures, and escalation paths.

Client receives: supplier governance routine
Supply chain planning

Plan demand, inventory, and capacity with fewer surprises

Supply chain planning is about balancing service, cash, and risk. We simplify the planning system so it runs consistently: clear inputs, sensible rules, and a cadence that prevents last-minute firefighting.

Create a forecast you can actually operate

We define inputs, assumptions, and ownership so demand signals are consistent and explainable.

Client receives: forecast method and input template

Set inventory policies (service vs cash)

We agree target service levels and translate them into reorder points, safety stock, and clear exceptions.

Client receives: inventory policy and exception rules

Build a practical S&OP / planning cadence

A lightweight monthly rhythm connects demand, supply, and finance without creating extra meetings.

Client receives: cadence, agenda, and decision points

Reduce lead-time uncertainty and expedite pressure

We tighten supplier lead-time assumptions and introduce simple controls that stop “surprise” shortages.

Client receives: lead-time control and risk triggers
