Engagement

Supply Chain Visibility Assessment

A structured look at where shipment status lives today and which hand-offs go dark before lead times can be trusted.

Before vendor lead-time reporting can stick, teams need a shared answer to where status actually lives. This assessment documents the hand-offs between purchase-order promises, carrier milestones, and warehouse receipts so later analytics do not compare mismatched clocks.

Ideal when two teams argue about the same shipment using different dates, or when averages hide definition gaps. Typical duration is one to two weeks including interviews. Starting fees from HKD 18,000 — ask for an estimate.

What this engagement covers

  • Interview-based map of status sources across buying, freight, and warehouse teams
  • Gap list showing where lead-time clocks disagree
  • Priority recommendations for definition alignment before the next reporting cycle
  • Optional half-day on-site workshop in Hong Kong

Outside this scope

  • Implementation of new tracking software
  • Carrier contract renegotiation
