Supply Chain Sourcing And Qualification
Proactively building the right supply chain establishes the baseline for efficient Manufacturing and NPI execution.
Who you use, why you use them, how to know they are the right partner, and how to weave them into a cost-effective supply chain are questions and solutions I provide.
New product Development, New Product Introduction
I can address questions and challenges on how to structure, organize and launch your New Product Introduction program.
This can be extended to building detailed custom NPI phase gate programs, project schedules, recommended cross functional team structures and recommendations on how to incorporate a NPI process into the operational workings of your company.
Product Cost and Gross Margin Management
Understanding product costs from the day of inception, the cost constituents, where cost needs to be, and how to get there, will make or break your company.
Building comprehensive product cost models that integrate supply chain costs with design and manufacturing decisions is a service I offer.
Key to corporate value growth is knowing where your gross margins are today and how to reduce costs going forward.
People And Team Leadership
How you structure your Manufacturing, Supply Chain and NPI teams, distribute responsibilities, align individual motivations and manage through high stress times, is the keystone that supports a thriving organization.
I can help define roles, responsibilities and organizational accountability for your Manufacturing, Quality, Technical Operations, Supply Chain and NPI Program teams.
