One supplier makes a part you can't ship without. If that supplier slips, so does your ship date. A second qualified source takes time to stand up, so the plan has to start before the shortage does.

Who It's For

Vice presidents and directors of operations, supply chain and procurement at U.S. manufacturers with one named part, one supplier and a date attached.

How We Engage

We discuss the parts and suppliers your ship dates depend on.

Every engagement starts with an assessment. We measure the exposure behind the single source: the part, the supplier and what a slip would cost.

We work alongside your procurement and engineering leaders to qualify a second source before the shortage arrives, and build a supply base that keeps the risk from coming back.

We work from commercial information. Drawings, specifications and controlled technical data stay with you.
