Representative Projects
Web and data server manufacturer – rapid growth after IPO with business processes of a start-up led to late deliveries and risk of missing revenue in final quarter of fiscal year
- Developed, implemented and managed material shortage process resulting in no late shipments due to material shortages for final month of fiscal year – enabling record revenue
- Implemented dock-to-stock program for receiving inspection – reducing volume by 28%
- Decreased receiving inspection time by 68% and reduced daily backlog by 96%
Web and data server manufacturer – rapid growth after IPO with business processes of a start-up led to late deliveries, excess inventory, and degrading margins
- Developed, implemented and managed surplus inventory analysis process
- Identified $8M of surplus inventory that was as risk of being obsolete – drove root cause process changes to prevent additional and managed process to consume most within a year
- Identified $812K of obsolete inventory and drove plans to consume all of it in a year
- Identified open-loop procurement processes that led to $20 million of obsolete inventory and $39 of surplus inventory
- Drove reduction of on-order quantities by 22%
- Developed aggregate supply and demand balancing processes to prevent excess inventory while reducing shortages
Electronics instrument manufacturer – excess inventory, poor on-time delivery performance, and degrading ROI necessitate a supply chain diagnostic to determine root causes and solutions
- Assessed root causes of excess inventory for complex, vertically integrated manufacturer (from in-house semiconductor manufacturing, machining, plating, and sub-assembly through to final assembly and test)
- Determined need for Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) to balance supply and demand
- Identified hundreds of products with poor ROI and recommended a portfolio rationalization approach to trim unprofitable products
- Developed prioritized implementation plan including supply chain strategy development, current initiative prioritization, portfolio rationalization, product lifecycle management, and Sales and Operation Planning (S&OP) implementation
Electronics instrument manufacturer – excess inventory and poor on-time delivery required a Sales and Operations planning (S&OP) process to balance supply and demand
- Developed S&OP, demand management, and supply management processes
- Conducted executive and staff training on S&OP
- Determined system requirements to support new processes
Celestica – acquisitions and expansion led to disparate supply chain processes across 35 international manufacturing sites with no strategy or process to identify and share best practices
- Developed global supply chain assessment process for use at 35 international sites
- Coordinated the development of over 50 global supply chain processes with emphasis on strategic sourcing, commodity management, supplier qualification, and planning processes
