The primary engagement
Network & Footprint Decision Package
A focused 4–8 week engagement that turns footprint, capacity, inventory, flow, and cost-to-serve alternatives into one executive-ready decision.
The decision charter
Define the choice leadership must make, the deadline, objectives, boundaries, non-negotiables, and the stakeholders whose commitment is required.
Baseline and assumptions log
Establish the current-state network economics and operating reality, while making uncertain or contested inputs visible rather than burying them in a model.
Three to five scenarios
Compare a bounded set of credible alternatives against agreed financial, service, capacity, risk, and implementation criteria.
Recommendation, sequencing, and risk
Identify the preferred path, the order of moves, key dependencies, downside exposure, and the evidence that would change the recommendation.
Executive decision deck
Deliver a concise narrative leadership can interrogate, approve, and use to mobilize the next phase.
Book a 45-min strategy callOut of scope
What this is not
- Transformation program or PMO ownership
- WMS or automation implementation
- A full 3PL RFP run
- Staff augmentation without a decision deadline
- An AI or product roadmap marketed as the primary offer
Optional entry
Network Decision Sprint
A 1–2 week entry point for a tightly bounded network design, footprint, or cost-to-serve question. The sprint frames the decision, tests the evidence and assumptions, and determines whether the full package is warranted. It is not a separate general strategy service.
Exploring an operating-decision use case for AI? The AI Opportunity & Agent Blueprint is available by inquiry as a secondary engagement.
Engagement principles
Independent thinking, built for internal adoption.
Supply Chain Stand Up works best where the question crosses operations, finance, technology, and commercial priorities—and where the answer must be both analytically sound and organizationally adoptable.
Constraint before solution
Technology and tactics follow a system diagnosis.
Evidence before advocacy
Assumptions and tradeoffs stay visible to decision-makers.
Mobilize, do not depend
The internal team leaves equipped to carry the decision forward.
