Supply Chain Consulting
Supply chain performance without the whiplash
Service problems and inventory problems are usually the same problem seen from two sides. ROPEX connects demand planning, inventory governance, and network decisions into one operating rhythm.
Who it's for
Is this you?
- Supply chain and operations leaders missing OTIF or service targets
- Organizations carrying too much of the wrong inventory and short on the right
- Businesses whose network footprint no longer matches their demand
- Leadership teams where commercial and operations plan in different directions
The problems
What it addresses
- OTIF performance that customers notice before you do
- Inventory that grows while availability gets worse
- Forecasts everyone debates and nobody trusts
- Network decisions made site by site instead of as a system
- Working capital trapped in slow-moving stock
The ROPEX approach
How the work happens
Every engagement follows the same discipline: understand, diagnose, design, implement, sustain.
- 01
Diagnose the end-to-end flow — demand signal, planning process, inventory policy, and network
- 02
Strengthen demand planning and the S&OP-style cadence that aligns commercial and operations
- 03
Set inventory governance: policies, targets, and the routines that keep them honest
- 04
Evaluate network optimization opportunities without sacrificing production volume
- 05
Make KPIs visible daily and connect them to leader standard work
Deliverables
What you walk away with
- A demand planning and review cadence aligned across functions
- Inventory governance policies with clear ownership
- OTIF and service performance routines with root-cause discipline
- Network analysis and optimization recommendations where the data supports them
- A KPI framework linking supply chain measures to business results
Outcomes
What the work aims to improve
- More reliable delivery performance and fewer customer escalations
- Inventory positioned against real demand, releasing working capital
- One plan that commercial and operations both execute against
- Network decisions made on system economics rather than local pressure
