The Supply Chain Health Check is our condensed supply chain audit format: in two weeks, we assess the state of your chain, from forecast to delivery, and come out with a prioritized action plan. It is a starting point with limited commitment. Instead of a long, uncertain project, you first get a fact-based assessment and a clear roadmap, then make an informed decision on next steps. The Supply Chain Health Check is a fixed-price engagement delivered in two weeks.
The problem it solves
Many leaders sense that their supply chain costs too much or serves customers poorly, without knowing exactly where to act. Launching a big project without a diagnosis risks treating a symptom instead of the cause. The Supply Chain Health Check addresses this need: seeing clearly, quickly, before investing. It is the leanest way to turn a leader's intuition into fact-based action priorities.
Our approach to the supply chain audit
In two weeks, we examine the key links (forecasting, inventory, sourcing, distribution, performance management) using your data and interviews with your teams. Following the Two-Layer Model (leadership decides the plan; operations execute it), we separate what belongs to decision from what belongs to execution, so that each recommendation targets the right level. The format is short by design: it focuses on the essentials and the highest-leverage gains, not on being exhaustive.
This two-week constraint is deliberate. An audit that drags on often produces an exhaustive report no one uses; a short audit forces prioritization from the start and keeps only what really counts. We combine two perspectives: the figures, which show where costs and stockouts concentrate, and the shop floor, which explains why. Comparing the two produces a short action plan, ordered by leverage, in which each recommendation states clearly who must decide and who must execute. The goal is not to document everything, but to give you, quickly, a reliable basis for decisions. For the indicators we typically review, see our article on the supply chain KPI dashboard.
The deliverables
- A fact-based assessment of your chain, link by link.
- The pain points and value pools, ranked.
- A prioritized action plan, distinguishing decisions from execution.
- A decision-oriented debrief for leadership.
Who it is for
For leaders who want a clear reading of their supply chain before committing time and money, and for those facing a major decision (growth, a new channel, a systems project) who want to base it on facts. It is also the right entry point when a leadership team hesitates to commit to a longer engagement: the Supply Chain Health Check provides a clear reading and a plan with effort estimates, so you can make an informed decision on whether to go further. You invest in a short assessment before investing in a project, rather than the other way around. Many deeper engagements in fact start with this format, precisely because it avoids getting the priorities wrong.
The first step
Even before the Supply Chain Health Check, a free 45-minute session helps define the most useful scope. No commitment.
Frequently asked questions
What is a Supply Chain Health Check?
It is a condensed supply chain audit: in two weeks, a fact-based assessment of the chain and a prioritized action plan, with limited commitment.
How does it differ from the free diagnostic session?
The free 45-minute session gauges your maturity and scopes the need; the Supply Chain Health Check is an in-depth evaluation over two weeks, with an action plan.
Why such a short format?
To see clearly and quickly, and to target the highest-leverage gains before committing to a larger project.
