Inventory Optimization & Lean Supply Chain Consulting for SMBs

In our more than three decades in supply chain and operations management, we've seen numerous warehouses overflowing with inventory, and working capital stuck on shelves rather than in the bank.  

At its core, supply chain optimization is about creating flow — ensuring the right materials are in the right place at the right time, with minimal waste and maximum value. For small and mid-sized businesses, that often means addressing years of informal processes, manual workarounds, and reactive decision-making. We help you build supply chains that are lean, agile, and support long-term growth — not just short-term fixes.

We start by deeply understanding your current state: demand variability, inventory positioning, supplier performance, and internal execution gaps. From there, we identify constraints and disconnects across planning, sourcing, production, and fulfillment. Our goal is to replace chaos with clarity — aligning supply and demand through smarter forecasting, right-sized inventory strategies, and cleaner operational processes.

Our approach blends Lean thinking, proven analytical tools, and real-world experience. We don’t just recommend — we implement. That means partnering with your planners, buyers, warehouse staff, and leadership to put new systems into motion, reinforce the right behaviors, and build sustainable habits. From improving fill rates to reducing working capital, we focus on outcomes that matter to your bottom line.

We also help you define and track the right metrics — not just lagging indicators like on-time delivery, but leading indicators like forecast accuracy, supplier responsiveness, and inventory turns. And we provide training along the way, equipping your team with the tools and confidence to drive continuous improvement long after we leave. 

Supply chain optimization is not a one-size-fits-all initiative. It’s a tailored, hands-on transformation — and we’re here to lead it with you.
