Supply chain management consulting focuses on how materials, information and cash move from suppliers through production to customers — and how to make that flow cheaper, faster, more resilient and more compliant. Typical work includes network design (where to locate plants and warehouses), supplier base optimisation, inventory and safety-stock right-sizing, transport planning, and technology enablement (ERP, WMS, TMS). In today’s environment, it also means building in resilience to geopolitical, ESG and regulatory shocks, and providing real-time visibility to management. Consultants will benchmark current performance, model alternative configurations and quantify savings or service benefits. The end goal is a supply chain that supports growth and customer promises without tying up excessive working capital or exposing the business to avoidable risk.
