CLIENT REVIEWS FOR ART’S WORK
A six-billion-dollar tier 1 automotive supplier retained my consulting services. The production facility was just over one million square feet, with nearly $175 million in annual revenue. The goal was to rescue a facility that had lost its true north and had forgotten what “good” looks like, customers placed them on a no bid list and profits were well below expectations. The organization did not invest in supply chain leadership and thought the ERP system could guide the organization. Additionally, the facility was without a supply chain manager for over one year.
