Supply Chain & Operations Transformation
Resilient operations that run better and cost less.
I redesign the systems that keep material moving and customers served: Sales, Inventory & Operations Planning (SIOP), inventory and material policy, supplier collaboration, and the operating model that holds it together.
Problems I solve
- Demand and supply plans that don't agree, so every month ends in expediting.
- Inventory that is too high in total and still short on the parts that matter.
- Suppliers that surprise you, with no early warning when they're in trouble.
- A supply chain team organized around firefighting instead of planning.
What I bring
- SIOP and Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) design and deployment
- Inventory and material policy
- Supplier collaboration and supplier resiliency
- Supply chain operating model and multi-year roadmap
Proof
What I did, and what changed.
| What I did | What changed |
|---|---|
| Led the SIOP deployment at a global equipment manufacturer. | Demand and supply plans aligned and reviewed against forecast accuracy and inventory metrics. |
| Rebuilt materials management processes from the ground up. | Standard work, shared reporting and a clear escalation framework for materials issues. |
| Authored a five-year supply chain transformation plan and designed the operating model for Materials, Global Supply Chain and Supplier Resiliency. | A sequenced plan: fix processes with standard work, add analytics, then target the ERP investments. |
From my roles in industry before Miller Forge.
Approach
Assess. Forge. Scale.
Assess
Find where value is trapped. Start with your processes, systems and data, and identify the fastest, most durable wins.
Forge
Build the solution with the people who'll run it. Targets set, owners assigned, nothing left to hope.
Scale
Implement, measure against the business, and put the governance in place that keeps the result from unwinding.
Typical engagement
Fractional leadership of the supply chain function, or a defined project such as standing up SIOP or resetting inventory policy.
