Lead-time audits
When your buying calendar needs a structured look at supplier commitments, this is the cycle we run — from intake definitions to the charts you take into committee.
Start with the flagship engagementTimelines flex with vendor count and data cleanliness. The sequence below is the default for a mid-size set of eight to fifteen suppliers.
We lock the vendor list, the date window, and what counts as the promise date versus the receipt date. No charts until these are written down.
Purchase-order commitments, carrier milestones, and warehouse receipts are joined into a single lead-time table per vendor and lane.
Slip distributions, seasonal stretch, and outlier lanes are drawn as annotated visualisations — not decorative dashboards.
You receive a written decision brief plus a live walkthrough for buyers and finance. Action owners are named where the evidence supports it.
