Lean Process Improvement & Supply Chain Management
Lean Process Improvement and Supply Chain Management is an area many St. Louis companies fail to fully leverage. Supply Velocity is a leader in Supply Chain Consulting Services and Lean Implementation, helping companies across the greater St. Louis area maximize efficiency in their supply chains.
Our supply chain & Lean consulting contains three straightforward components:
1. Analysis & Assessment
You receive a detailed examination of your business’ supply chain practices by our expert consultants.
2. Plan Development
Based on our assessment, we help create a detailed and prioritized plan for your supply chain strategy.
3. Implementation
We implement the plan under your direction, being as hands-on or hands-off with management as you want.
The end result of your consultation is a plan that optimizes your Inventory, Sales efforts, Facility Layout, Facility Location / Network Design and Process Effectiveness.
Beyond Lean Management and Supply Chain Optimization Consulting, Supply Velocity also can help your business with:
- Sales & Operations Planning
- Warehouse & Plant Operations Optimizations
- Business Process Improvement
- Performance measurement
- Six sigma consulting
- Lean Six Sigma Training
We have been helping organizations in the Greater St. Louis area improve their supply chain operations, execute their supply chain planning, and streamline their processes since 1998.
To date, we have helped more than 90 Clients implement over 400 projects across a broad spectrum of business segments, including:
- Service Businesses
- Manufacturing
- Distribution & Warehousing
- Hospitals & Healthcare
- Retail
- Value Stream Mapping
Consider these points:
> 95% of our sales come from referrals; Satisfied clients
> 90% of new clients begin with an Assessment
> 80% of Assessments result in a project; Assessment is valuable
> On average, each client invites us back for 4 projects; Results achieved
Finally, our pricing structure is flexible to ensure we’re fitting your needs. We can either operate on a service fee basis or on a project basis. The former involves our team as an extension of your management team, while the latter defines our projects in scope, duration, and investment. If we don’t achieve the savings we defined in our Assessment, we will return your investment. Your return is Guaranteed!
