Proof
Strategic Supply Group is a new firm and I am not going to pretend otherwise. What follows is real work from 25 years in industrial procurement, described without naming former employers or their suppliers.
Selected work
A critical, high volume product line bought by the container load was opened to nine candidate suppliers across domestic and international sources. Every candidate was scored on the same 24 criteria so the recommendation could be defended to ownership on more than price alone.
Mapped the tariff exposure across suppliers in three countries and put a hard dollar figure on the added duty the business was carrying, which turned a vague worry into a sourcing decision the leadership team could act on.
Multi site supplier management across raw materials, components, and finished goods, including preferential allocation wins during the pandemic period when other buyers could not get product at all.
Reorder logic set across a very large SKU base so that purchasing decisions came from the system instead of from memory and firefighting.
A measurement framework covering supplier, purchasing, and inventory performance, mapped to the reports available in the ERP so the numbers could actually be produced every month.
Written and rolled out to an international supplier base, setting expectations on quality, delivery, communication, and conduct in one document.
Working with the factory rather than through a trading company, across a supplier footprint spanning 21 countries.
See before you buy
Available on request, before any agreement, so you can see the standard of the output rather than take my word for it.
All 21 reports from the standard reporting menu shown against a fictional client, with fully synthetic data and a one page owner summary. Clearly labelled as synthetic throughout.
A one page summary of categories, countries, systems, and the scope of work Strategic Supply Group takes on.
The full list of reports you can select from, with what each one answers and how often it is produced.
Published work
Building the Supply Chain of the Future, Today and Procurement and Supply Chain Roles: Definitions, Responsibilities, and How AI Can Assist. Both written from the buyer's chair rather than the lecture hall.
The same point of view drives Inside the Supply Chain, the podcast launching from Strategic Supply Group.
Strategic Supply Group has not yet run a client engagement, so I will not present borrowed testimonials as if they were mine. Proof here comes from career results, work product you can review up front, and a paid 30 day Pilot that lets you test the work at a small, fixed cost.
Next step
I will send the sample monthly report pack and the capability sheet, with no obligation and no drip campaign afterward.
