INSIGHTS
Perspectives on inventory, fill rates, S&OP, and working capital for manufacturers and distributors.
These insights are built on a simple principle: Speed = Clarity x Trust
When your team has clear data and trusts the process, decisions get faster and execution improves. That is what these insights are about
When prior fixes haven't stuck, the first step is understanding why. These insights show how we think about the problems manufacturers and distributors are actually facing.
Why Your Inventory Number Is Lying to You
A CFO once told me, "The more inventory we have, the more we can borrow against." He had $54M in stock and fill rates in the low 70s. Customers were leaving.
That is not an asset. That is cash frozen in place, eroding EBITDA.
The pattern is the same in nearly every engagement: each function optimizes its own silo. Nobody optimizes the business. The fix is not a new system. It is one plan that Sales, Operations, and Finance all own together, with leadership in the room to make decisions.
When that happens, inventory comes down and fill rates go up. Not competing goals. The same goal, executed properly.

Operations & Inventory assessment
$45M Capital Equipment Manufacturer
Challenge:
Need to increase throughput in an operation at capacity with on time delivery of 21.7%
Action:
Operations Deep Dive used to prioritize changes in the workflow to streamline, create capacity, and improve output
Result:
$3.1M in incremental revenue created. 80%+ on time delivery in 60 days with a 8.5% throughput lift.
S&OP Current State Assessment
$80M industrial manufacturer
Challenge:
Borrowing limits were reached. Softening of orders and growing inventory choked cash flow.
Action:
S&OP Deep Dive determined no formal communications loop existed between Sales & Operations. As a result, purchasing was buying more than sales was selling.
Result:
$6.93 million in cash created in nine months. 41% reduction in inventory, closed offsite warehouse. Aligned purchasing with true sales demand.
