Some results from past projects
3rd Party logistics tendering
Program managed a high value high complexity 3rd party logistics transportation tendering process for a distribution business towards successful completion within a tight timeframe
Global inventory optimisation
Optimised global inventory planning-and-management for a chemical business resulting in a 13% reduction in working capital.
Transport network optimisation
Optimised a complex transportation network for a distribution business identifying a 6% transport cost reduction potential.
Sales and Operations Planning implementation
Designed and implemented a Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) solution for a chemical business supported by supply planning, demand planning and inventory optimisation technology solutions integrated with their ERP solution resulting in improved alignment between Marketing, Sales and Operations and a significant reduction in inventory.
Source point optimisation
Evaluated and optimised the end-to-end implications of sourcing a commodity through alternative ports for a global manufacturing-and-distribution business considering all complexities such as port dynamics, manufacturing dynamics, demand variability and inventory implications that supported strategic decision making processes.
Supply chain optimisation
Designed and implemented an alternative operations-and-supply chain planning-and-execution strategy for a multi-national high-volume manufacturing-and-distribution business to gear the business for growth resulting in an increase in throughput of 22% whilst finished goods inventory reduced by 28% with no capital investment required.
Strategic options evaluation and optimisation
Designed, evaluated and optimised alternative road, rail, marine and storage strategies for a blue chip manufacturing business as part of a large scale supply chain optimisation capital program that clarified implications of alternative options and allowed effective decision making of the best strategic pathways forward.
Evaluation and optimisation of commercial implications
Completed a project for a blue-chip manufacturing business to evaluate and optimise the commercial-and-value chain implications of alternating the supply-and-conversion strategy of a key feedstock that resulted in clarification of best strategic options.
Port congestion evaluation and minimisation
Assisted a blue-chip business to evaluate the financial implications of future port and berth congestion at a key commercial port. This included testing alternative options to alleviate berth congestion and understanding which options would provide the largest business benefit. This resulted in clarification of best strategic pathways.
