Services
A few examples of what I can optimize:
Planning & Forecasting
Whether you utilize Excel, are gearing up for new software implementation, or are already using best-in-class Supply Chain Planning (SCP) software, successful planning (demand, supply, inventory, assortment) depends on the approach. Does your existing planning process support larger business goals and optimal service to customers?
S&OP/SIOP
Sales, Inventory, & Operations Planning (SIOP) is the cornerstone of any future-proofed, collaborative business. An optimized SIOP cadence maximizes proactivity, clarity, and direction for all stakeholders while minimizing unnecessary meetings and busy work. Are your business leaders, teams, and plans all aligned and achieving KPIs?
Process Improvement & Overhaul
At the core of any operational process are multiple cogs moving all at once. Within each cog, inherited and reactive band-aid processes build up over time, creating large-scale inefficiencies costing your business time, money, and employee burnout. Are your SOPs and processes sustainable?
Testimonials
We hired Rebecca to consult on a software platform we are building for the
CPG industry.
I always loved our conversations with Rebecca; she was not afraid to ask the tough questions and make us think about what we were trying to build.
Her knowledge of the industry from multiple perspectives (distributor, brand, retailer) was impressive and invaluable to shaping our product.
We will be working with Rebecca again in the future.
