It’s 8.45am. Service levels are plummeting, costs are soaring, and another crisis meeting is about to begin. For many supply chain leaders, this is the everyday reality. But it doesn’t have to be.

Join our upcoming virtual workshop to hear a real client success story. You’ll discover how one of our clients — let’s call them Maximal Manufacturing PLC — went from constant firefighting and frustrated customers to award-winning supply chain performance.

This isn’t theory. It’s a real example of how a mid-sized manufacturer facing the same pressures you do today turned supply chain chaos into a competitive advantage. And we’ll show you how you can do the same in your business.

In this half-day virtual session, Partners Andy Walker and Mike Snape will walk you through the Maximal Manufacturing PLC success story step by step.

You will learn how to:

  • Spot “pressure cooker” patterns before they spiral into crisis
  • Sequence improvements in the right order for maximum impact
  • Build robust plans grounded in demonstrated performance
  • Clean and maintain data so systems actually deliver value
  • Create daily and weekly rhythms that sustain change over the long term

This is practical, actionable guidance you can take straight back to your business.

Who should attend?

  • Supply chain and operations leaders caught in firefighting cycles
  • Executives under pressure to cut costs while improving service
  • Planning managers frustrated by unreliable forecasts and data
  • Change leaders who want a proven roadmap instead of more theory

The pressures facing modern supply chains aren’t easing — but with the right methodology, they can be turned into opportunities. The same systematic approach that transformed Maximal Manufacturing PLC can transform your business too.

For Maximal Manufacturing PLC, inventory levels dropped by 30% while service performance improved dramatically. Costs fell by 25% as efficiency improvements eliminated waste and rework. Most tellingly, their workforce reported significantly better work-life balance as firefighting gave way to proactive management.

The company went on to win supplier of the year awards from major retail customers – recognition that would have seemed impossible during their crisis period. More importantly, they'd developed the capability to sustain these improvements rather than sliding back into old patterns.
