What We Do

Supply Chain Edge (SCE) is a team of seasoned logistics and supply chain specialists serving the middle market companies (typically with $100 million to $3 billion in revenues).   Clients retain SCE to generate improvements in business growth, earnings per share, return on capital, margins, cash to cash cycle times, and service levels.  SCE clients also seek a relentless pursuit of improved metrics and competitive advantage.

The SCE approach and methodology is a two step process. During the first step, we quickly identify, evaluate, quantify and prioritize (by level of complexity and resource commitment) those opportunities that will yield measurable financial results.  The second step is Implementation.  Based on those SCE recommendations you wish to pursue, we work with your team and lead the implementation efforts to ensure that results are achieved and maximized.

Typically, the greatest opportunities are found in the following areas:

  • Domestic Transportation (all modes) – pricing, cost drivers, performance based contracts, incentive based strategies, collective bargaining power.
  • Outbound freight policies, total cost of ownership, and impact of logistics on customer profitability.
  • International Transportation (imports to the U.S., exports from the U.S., intra Europe, and inter continental).
  • Warehousing and Distribution Center Operations and workflow review and network modelling.
  • SKU rationalization and ABC inventory analysis
  • Inbound transportation programs (unbundling the true cost, delivered pricing strategies, inventory management, reverse logistic options).
  • Logistic related lead time and cash to cash cycle time strategies.
  • Strategies for improvements to paper and information flow.
  • Development of appropriate logistics and supply chain related key performance indicators and dashboards.
  • Lean logistics initiatives.
  • Private and dedicated fleet rationalization and improvements.
  • Raw material and indirect spend sourcing strategies.
  • Internal and external benchmark and best case practice analysis.
  • Supply chain disruption, contingency planning, and risk mitigation strategies.
  • C-TPAT certification and evaluation.
  • Aligning your Logistics Strategy with the Master Operating Plan - Eliminating the Silo effect.
SCE team members are a temporary extension of your internal talent and provide extra bandwidth to ensure you realize all potential opportunities in an accelerated time frame without jeopardizing competing priorities.   When you engage SCE, you work with a team that brings extensive experience, resources, and relationships to your business.

We welcome the opportunity to explore the ways we might work together.  Call us at 440-937-5151 and let’s talk.
