Do you need help with specific issues within your Supply Chain? Or... Do you need an experienced leader to come in and streamline your Logistics/Operations on a permanent basis? Someone that will take your Supply Chain to the next level. I am fully open to helping on either basis. For short term fixes, Stanborough Consulting is there to help. For permanent Operations/Logistics leadership, I am open to work and am ready for my next challenge. #Logistics #Operations #SupplyChain

I've been asked several times recently as to why would you hire a consultant rather than a Director or Head of Operations/Logistics. Having the right structure in place for your team is of course vitally important, but hiring someone on a short basis to provide solutions for specific issues in most cases will be far more cost effective. Stanborough Consulting can provide training and solutions to assist with any issue within your supply chain, no matter how big, or how small.

Reflections part 1/N I look back to my career as a supply chain professional, and I've been moving places, each time moving a bit from the back up to the front row (execution to planning). I started in 3M's global service centre in APAC region. 3M has had decades of organisational optimising here and there, leading them to a splitting of roles (just like everywhere else): 1. Supply planners - who sits in plants, being able to act and decide close to where the action is. 2. Sourcing / Vendor managers - who are stationed in regional HQ (country office), staying close to strategic vendor partners, eager to conclude periodic negotiations whipping/guiding the supply pool in the right direction. 3. Buyers - the role in charge of maintaining data, pushing out orders and chasing after deadlines. Depending on where your org sits in the value chain, those who follow the GE/Apple model would also have procurement engineering roles who works on product development projects, or are largely stationed in critical outsourced plants to supervise quantity and quality deliverables. *Damn I am aching to dive into this side of my field* My first job with 3M would fit the role of buyer I described above. Being largely excluded from having to crunch forecast numbers and inventory planning, this role with all its energy naturally needs to focus on SOMETHING --- process improvement. Finding the local optima, finding ways to further slim down wastes in a mature process chart. It was a great training ground to hammer in the value of quality early on and I benefit from it to this day! To my first boss, my teammates, if you're reading this, hey I miss you all. ^^
