Manufacturing supply chain management excellence

Differentiating for value, profit and growth

Few commercial sectors are facing as much change as manufacturing. Today’s companies must deal with new disruptive technologies; a more agile, responsive and demanding customer; and whilst there is strong competition from low cost economies, the emerging trend to re-shoring brings its own challenges of reconfiguring supply chain operations and management.

Competing in today’s dynamic business landscape requires an operating model that integrates supply chain and manufacturing capabilities, is disruptive for your competitors, serves your customers perfectly each and every time, and maintains business cost effectiveness.

This is precisely why many of the world’s leading manufacturers work with LCP Consulting. Through a partnership with us they achieve a step change in operational performance, whilst developing a customer-driven value chain.
