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 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
A $90M automotive supplier struggled with 24% on-time delivery and -17% operating income. 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 consultant support transitioned to internal ownership.
Telecommunications Transformation
A $13B telecommunications equipment manufacturer with aging processes and high forecast errors needed a complete planning overhaul. 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. 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. Consultant support transitioned through three phases, delivering $10MM+ annual savings and sustainable internal ownership.
