Service 04 · Global Supply Chain Transformation

The full network, redesigned to what the business actually needs.

Most supply chain problems are not problems with individual functions. They are problems with the system — the way plan, source, make, and deliver connect to each other and to the demand signal. A warehouse in the wrong location. A supplier base built for a different product mix. A planning process running on lag data that produces a forecast nobody trusts. The Atelier transformation starts with the network, not the function. The answers produce a redesign — a sequence of operating decisions, made in the right order, that move landed cost and service simultaneously rather than trading one for the other.

The engagement

What the engagement covers

+
  • 01

    Network design: node strategy, footprint optimisation, make-versus-buy decisions.

  • 02

    Demand planning: S&OP redesign, forecast accuracy improvement, demand-to-supply signal connection.

  • 03

    Sourcing strategy: supplier rationalisation, dual-source engineering, total cost of ownership model.

  • 04

    Manufacturing alignment: production planning, capacity management, cost-per-unit improvement.

  • 05

    Logistics design: mode, lane, and carrier strategy across the full network.

  • 06

    Technology sequencing: which system solves which problem, in which order.

  • 07

    Operating cadence: the weekly and monthly rhythm that sustains the improved state.

Who engages a Global Supply Chain Transformation

+
  • 01

    Companies at $50M–$500M with supply chains that have grown by accretion rather than design.

  • 02

    PE-backed businesses where supply chain complexity is the primary drag on EBITDA margin.

  • 03

    Businesses expanding internationally who need a supply chain architecture that works at the new footprint.

  • 04

    Companies that have experienced a significant disruption and need to rebuild the network with resilience and unit economics in balance.

Engagement structure

+

Phased. Typically 6–18 months depending on network complexity. Phase one (30–60 days): diagnostic and design. Phase two: implementation, sequenced to operating priorities and capital availability. Phase three: operating handover and cadence installation.

Where the boundary sits

+
  • Not a benchmarking project — the output is not a report on how the supply chain compares to industry peers.

  • The output is a working network, running to the new design, with the operating team trained to sustain it.

If the network is fighting the strategy, a scoped design conversation is where the answer begins.
