Driving Supply Chain Transformation
Successful supply chain transformation requires more than implementing new technology or improving planning processes. It requires aligning supply chain planning, ERP and supply chain technology, operational execution, customer fulfillment, and resilient operations to respond to changing business conditions and deliver predictable business performance.
LMA Consulting’s Performance & Risk services help manufacturers and distributors translate supply chain strategy into operational results. We align customer demand, operations, inventory, fulfillment, and supply chain capabilities to improve operational performance, strengthen resiliency, mitigate risk, and enable scalable, profitable growth.
From operational transformation and inventory performance to supply chain resiliency, business continuity, customer fulfillment, and risk mitigation, we help clients improve visibility, strengthen decision-making, protect customer commitments, and build agile operations that deliver measurable business results.

For engineer-to-order (ETO) and configure-to-order (CTO) businesses, Engineering leaders will gain visibility into workload requirements to support drawings, customer approvals, and bill of material designs. They will be able to plan for the appropriate level of engineering capacity and capabilities.
Manufacturing
Manufacturing leaders will gain visibility into work center, machine, equipment, tooling, maintenance, staffing, and training requirements so that they can plan accordingly. They will also gain visibility into the master production schedule so that they can optimize run sizes with changeovers and costs.
Purchasing
Purchasing leaders will gain visibility into raw material, component, ingredient, and outside processing requirements so that they can work with suppliers to set up the appropriate programs and contracts to meet customer requirements. Suppliers will have visibility to capacity and scorecards.
Logistics
Logistics leaders will gain visibility into storage, warehousing, handling, picking, packing, shipping, transportation, returns, and equipment requirements so that they can plan accordingly. As gaps arise, service and cost options can be analyzed to expand capacity or capabilities as needed to support customers.

Thus, they will have revenue, cost, profitability, and cash flow projections.
