The Challenge

A large manufacturer relied on suppliers in one part of the world. When deliveries were delayed, production slowed, delivery times doubled, and storage costs rose by 60%.

Our Approach

We helped the company find backup suppliers in different regions and plan how much stock to keep. We also set up a way to spot supplier problems early and track deliveries as they happened.

The Results

The company reduced its reliance on one region from 40% of suppliers to 12%. Delivery times fell by 45%, it saved $180 million in stock costs, and factories stayed open and producing 99.2% of the time during later disruptions.
