ENTRY POINT · DIAG

Supply Chain Diagnostic

Two to four weeks on site and in your records. You get the money your supply chain is losing, ranked, with a value and an owner against each finding, and a 90-day plan to recover it. Most clients start here, but it is not a condition of anything else.

YOU ARE PROBABLY HERE BECAUSE

“I want to understand my supply chain properly and I do not know where to start.”

“I do not want to commission five specialist reviews to find out.”

“I need something evidence-based before I spend money on fixing it.”

SCOPE

Three sizes

Single site

5 days of effort, over 2 weeks

For one site or one operating company.

Up to three sites

7.5 days of effort, over 3 weeks

For a business with a few sites or streams.

Multi-site

10 days of effort, over 4 weeks

For a group, or several linked companies.

You pay for the effort; the span is given for your planning. The fee is fixed and agreed in writing before any work starts.

THE PROCESS

How it runs

1. Kick-off on site

Half a day with you and the people who run the operation.

2. On the ground

A shift in a cab, on a line or in a yard, on a normal day.

3. Your data

I pull the exports myself. Raw files are better than tidy ones.

4. Tested with your team

Every finding is checked with the person who does the job before it goes in the report.

5. Readout

Ninety minutes on site. You keep the cost model so you can rerun it next year.

DELIVERABLES

What you get

  • One page: the five things worth knowing, and what each is worth.

  • The findings, each with its value a year, the cost to capture it, an owner and a date.

  • A 90-day plan with a named owner against every action.

  • The workings: the cost model as a spreadsheet, handed over.

  • A readout on site with your leadership team.

EXAMPLE FINDINGS · HORTICULTURE EXPORTER

29.7%

of production lost before dispatch: nearly one stem in three.

100

issues diagnosed across seven functions, each with its financial exposure.

8

critical findings put in front of the leadership team for immediate action.

16

source datasets reviewed, from the ERP to the packhouse floor.

AFTERWARDS

What happens next

The diagnostic ends with a recommendation, not a prescription. You can act on the plan yourself, ask me to deliver part of it, or do nothing. If you want help, each action points to the service that covers it.

Tell me what is not working.

A twenty-minute call costs nothing and usually shows us both whether there is work worth doing.
