Supply Chain Advisory

Expert-Led Strategies for Procurement, Manufacturing and Logistics

Our partners and advisors bring cross-industry experience to deliver tailored solutions across procurement (sourcing strategies, portfolio segmentation (commodities vs critical components), single vs. multi-sourcing, MoQs, etc.), manufacturing (manufacturing strategy, MtS vs. MtO, make or buy, capacity development, balancing cost, flexibility, and peak demand management), and logistics (designing efficient warehousing and transport solutions, introducing innovative concepts such as milkruns, cross-docking, shuttles, nominated days, and reducing costs while enhancing service levels).​

Aligning Your Value Chain to Deliver Tangible Results

Many businesses are ‘optimised’—just not in ways that help them perform. Procurement chases low prices. Manufacturing maximises capacity. Inventory is kept lean. Sales pushes every order through. Each function hits its own KPIs—but the system struggles. Costs rise. Service levels drop. Frustration grows.

At ABA, we help you step back. We work with leadership teams to expose and resolve the hidden trade-offs that exist between functions—turning local optimisation into end-to-end performance. Whether you’re tackling cost, complexity, or service breakdowns, our advisory work ensures your supply chain becomes a strategic enabler for growth and resilience.

What We Do Differently

We don’t offer generic playbooks or one-size-fits-all models. Instead, our advisors bring hands-on, cross-industry experience to help you address the real-world conflicts that undermine performance.

We work directly with your teams in Procurement, Manufacturing, and Logistics to design operating models that are aligned, practical, and effective:

• Procurement: Sourcing strategies, segmentation, MoQs, supplier resilience, and cost-risk balance.

• Manufacturing: Make-or-buy, capacity development, MtS vs. MtO strategy, peak demand responsiveness.

• Logistics: Warehouse and transport design, including milkruns, cross-docking, and flexible delivery solutions.

Our approach is pragmatic and grounded—always shaped around the outcomes your business needs to deliver.

Structured Services, Delivered Clearly

We know that consulting often feels open-ended and ambiguous. That’s why, in addition to our full consulting and implementation services, we offer Work Packages: pre-defined, focused services designed to address specific business issues with transparent pricing and tangible deliverables.

They’re a powerful entry point—or a rapid way to stabilise a known problem.

These packages complement our broader advisory services and make it easy to engage on clearly scoped initiatives.

Ready to Turn Supply Chain Into a Competitive Advantage?

If your teams are delivering locally but your value chain is still underperforming, the problem isn’t a lack of effort—it’s a lack of alignment. We help you surface the hidden friction points across procurement, manufacturing, and logistics and design practical ways to resolve them.

The outcome: better service, lower costs, and greater resilience.

Contact Sandy Torrekens to arrange an initial discussion or to explore what such an approach could look like in your business.

ABA Work Packages

• A clear scope and defined problem area

• Tangible deliverables tailored to business needs

• Transparent, upfront pricing
