Five fixed-scope engagements for $50M to $350M manufacturers and distributors.
Find the right one below. Guaranteed ROI.
Inventory keeps growing. Margins are compressing. Write-offs are becoming routine, and nobody can explain exactly why.
Fill rates are declining. Expediting costs are climbing. Customers are calling, and the team is firefighting instead of planning.
There is a meeting on the calendar, but nothing changes afterward. Purchasing buys what it wants. Forecasts go ignored. Nobody owns the outcome.
The assessment is done. The priorities are clear. Now you need someone embedded with the team to turn the roadmap into results.

Before we fix it, we find it.
Every engagement starts the same way: understanding where cash is trapped, why service is suffering, and what's actually causing the problem. These assessments give you clarity before committing to a larger engagement.
"Mike reduced our chemical inventory 24% in six months while improving customer deliveries."
-Peter V., CEO, Riverside PortCo
Best for: You need a full picture of what is wrong across the supply chain before committing to a fix.
You're ready to move, but you need a roadmap. This is a comprehensive review of your supply chain: people, process, and performance. You get root cause identification and a prioritized action plan with quantified opportunities.
What you get:
Timeline: Completed in 30 days or less.

Best for: Cash is trapped in inventory, margins are compressing, and write-offs are growing.
The problem is not one bad decision. It is a system that stopped working. Your team knows something is off, but nobody can explain exactly why.
This assessment gets inside the data to find where cash is trapped, why margin is leaking, and what operational changes will have the highest payback.
What you get:
Timeline: 45-60 days.

Best For: You have an S&OP meeting, but decisions still happen in silos and nothing changes.
Purchasing buys what it wants. Sales forecasts go ignored. Nobody owns the outcome. The meeting exists, but the process does not.
This assessment evaluates your planning process against the 25 elements of S&OP maturity, identifies where the breakdowns are, and delivers a prioritized roadmap to close the gaps.
What you get:
Timeline: 30 days or less.

The assessment told you what's broken. Now it's time to fix it.
Each engagement below is fixed-scope and fixed-fee, built around a single outcome: releasing trapped cash, restoring service levels, or installing the disciplines that make results stick. I stay embedded with your team until the changes hold.
"Mike helped us deploy a more organized and formalized S&OP process."
-Jeff M., CEO, Gridiron PortCo
Best For: The assessment is done, and the priorities are clear. You need execution.
This engagement takes the prioritized roadmap and turns it into results: working capital released, service levels restored, processes that stick.
I stay embedded with your team through implementation. Your people own the outcomes. I make sure the changes hold.
What you get:
Timeline: 60–90 days.

Best For: Your team knows S&OP matters, but nobody owns the process, and meetings lack structure.
Roles are unclear. Decisions happen outside the process. You need a framework built for your business, not a generic playbook.
This 90-day engagement installs a functioning S&OP process through three phases: Education, Architecture, and Pilot. Your team does not just learn S&OP. They run it and own it.
What you get:
Timeline: 90 days.
