Execute Transformation with Flexible Expertise
01
Build implementation roadmap
Working from maturity assessment findings, begin by listening to leadership priorities to build alignment around transformation objectives across people, process, and technology. Establish governance frameworks with clear accountability and decision-making protocols for seamless execution.
02
Deploy expert teams
Collaborate with internal teams to deliver quick wins that demonstrate value and build credibility. The flexible staffing model scales senior expertise exactly when needed—scaling up for critical milestones and right-sizing during execution to optimize impact and investment.
03
Execute & transfer capabilities
Embed changes through clear playbooks and training programs that empower employees to maintain improvements and lead ongoing refinements. Expert teams systematically transition from hands-on implementation to advisory support, establishing continuous improvement mechanisms and governance frameworks to keep progress sustainable as expert support scales down.
Winning Together
Supply Chain Performance Transformation Use Cases
Problem
A global automotive wheel casting manufacturer supplying major OEMs from its Mexico plant faced critical operational challenges. Poor on-time delivery and failing capacity led to $500K monthly expedited freight and plant shutdown costs, with automotive OEMs charging $22K per minute in lost plant margin.
Action
A team that scaled from 3 diagnostic specialists to 6 during peak implementation executed a structured 7-phase transformation that included assessment, containment, systematic rollout, and governance through weekly huddles and monthly scorecards. Comprehensive capability building spanned executive workshops, Six Sigma training for management, and standardized work protocols for plant teams, with Expert support transitioning to advisory roles as internal ownership was established.
Results
- Reduced expedited freight costs by $2M over 6 months
- Built internal capabilities through comprehensive training and knowledge transfer
- Established sustainable improvement mechanisms including preventive maintenance protocols and performance audits
- Created capital investment planning framework to future-proof capacity
Brake Manufacturing Recovery

Scalable expert teams implemented balanced scorecards and tiered governance while building internal capabilities through train-the-trainer modules. Results delivered $9M increased annual operating income with +64% quality, +74% delivery, and +12% productivity improvements as expert support transitioned to internal ownership.

Scalable expert teams used a "2-in-a-box" model pairing specialists with internal managers across 20 months. Results delivered 20% inventory reduction, 22% improved on-time delivery, and 60% faster planning cycles with successful internal transition.
Global CPG Supply Chain Harmonization
A global CPG company with fragmented regional processes required complete supply chain harmonization for efficient scaling. Scalable expert teams that included assessment specialists and implementation teams with regional leads established tiered governance with a PMO using hybrid Agile/Stage-Gate framework and comprehensive capability building. Expert support transitioned through three phases, delivering $10MM+ annual savings and sustainable internal ownership.
