Post-Acquisition Supply Chain Integration
Two supply chains becoming one operation. Sequencing, the synergies that are real, and an honest account of the ones that are not.

Adapting to something new
You are probably here because:
What you get
Both operations described on the same terms and the same cost basis, which is usually the first time that has been done. A synergy register with every claimed item marked real, conditional, or not supported — including what is double-counted and what depends on a system change nobody has scoped. A sequenced integration plan that protects customer service, because the wrong order costs more than the synergy was ever worth. And a risk register covering the moves most likely to be noticed outside the business, with a stated view on what should deliberately be left alone for now.
Who it is for
Private equity portfolio businesses and trade acquirers in the first year after completion.
