Risk Reduction

The Challenge

A $4B industrial manufacturer experienced severe supply chain disruptions, with 40% of suppliers concentrated in a single region. Lead times had doubled, inventory carrying costs surged 60%, and three major product lines faced production stoppages.

Our Approach

We redesigned the end-to-end supply chain strategy, implementing a dual-sourcing framework, regional hub model, and predictive analytics for demand planning. Our team developed a supplier risk scoring methodology and established a supply chain control tower for real-time visibility.

The Results

Supply chain resilience improved dramatically with single-source dependency reduced from 40% to 12%. Lead times decreased 45%, inventory costs dropped $180M, and the company maintained 99.2% production uptime through the next wave of global disruptions.
