Food & Beverage·Mid-market food & beverage manufacturer

Replaced a failing ERP rollout with a vendor-agnostic selection process

Challenge

The client had already chosen an ERP but was six months behind and seeing major workflow gaps. They needed an unbiased review before writing a large check for customization work.

Approach

  • Mapped production, inventory, and lot-traceability requirements against real floor processes
  • Re-scored the incumbent against two alternatives using weighted functional criteria
  • Built a business case for switching vendors and negotiated contract protections

Results

  • Avoided $400K+ in unnecessary customization
  • Selected a platform that went live on time 10 months later
  • Reduced order-to-ship processing time by 30%
Distribution & Supply Chain·Regional distribution company

Cut warehouse throughput time by redesigning the process before automating it

Challenge

A new WMS was being purchased to fix picking delays, but the underlying layout and wave logic were the real problem. Software alone would not have solved it.

Approach

  • Ran a value-stream mapping exercise with warehouse supervisors
  • Redesigned picking zones, wave scheduling, and replenishment triggers
  • Aligned the WMS configuration to the new process rather than the old one

Results

  • Reduced average pick time by 22%
  • Cut mis-ships by half in the first quarter post go-live
  • Avoided adding a second shift during peak season
Life Sciences·Life sciences equipment firm

Built a PMO that kept a multi-site systems rollout on track

Challenge

Three concurrent system rollouts across R&D, quality, and manufacturing had no shared governance. Deadlines were slipping and executive visibility was poor.

Approach

  • Designed a lightweight PMO framework with stage-gates sized to the organization
  • Standardized reporting, risk registers, and resource planning across workstreams
  • Coached internal project leads so governance would stick after we left

Results

  • All three rollouts hit their go-live dates within the same fiscal year
  • Reduced weekly status-reporting burden by 40% through standardized dashboards
  • Internal PMO team took full ownership within 90 days
