Client Challenge
The client had a decentralised operating model, having grown through multiple small business acquisitions, resulting in many small supplier relationships, inconsistency of governance, potential supply chain risk exposure and limited ongoing supply chain value management. The client required an SYSC8 review and plan to close identified gaps, and a revised Operating Model to embed sustainable rigour and deliver immediate cost reduction opportunities.
