Supply Chain Strategy & Network Design
Footprint strategy, make-vs-buy decisions, capacity planning, external manufacturing, and network optimization grounded in real operating constraints.
Bengal Solutions helps CPG and manufacturing leaders turn supply-chain complexity into clear decisions, disciplined execution, and measurable results.
We focus on the decisions that shape cost, service, capacity, and resilience—then stay close enough to execution to make the change stick.
Footprint strategy, make-vs-buy decisions, capacity planning, external manufacturing, and network optimization grounded in real operating constraints.
Throughput diagnostics, bottleneck analysis, OEE improvement, standard work, and performance rhythms that translate opportunity into sustained results.
Planning rules, decision models, Python-enabled workflows, dashboards, and control-tower concepts that move teams from firefighting toward proactive decisions.
Explore practical supply-chain decision tools built from real operating questions. Start with the early payment calculator.
Compare a supplier discount with the cost of paying early. See the net value and the break-even annual cost of cash, without creating an account.
Technology creates value only after the operating logic is clear. We codify the rules, build the decision process, and then apply analytics or AI where it can improve speed and consistency.
Find the real constraint, quantify the performance gap, and separate symptoms from root causes.
Define decision rules, future-state processes, operating standards, and the value case.
Build practical tools, implementation plans, and governance with the people who will run them.
Embed metrics, routines, ownership, and capability so performance holds after the project ends.
Experience spans executive supply-chain leadership and major consulting firms, with accountability for strategy, operations, teams, investment decisions, and results.
Annual supply-chain spend managed with cost, service, and resilience accountability.
Product launch supported through cross-border production and capacity strategy.
OEE improvement through operating discipline and focused performance intervention.
Demurrage and detention reduction through transportation process improvement.
Saurav combines the analytical discipline of a strategist with the practical judgment of an operator. Across two decades in industry and consulting, he has led supply chain initiatives spanning network design, manufacturing and logistics optimization, digital transformation, and performance improvement. His strength lies in translating complex data into practical decisions, executable solutions, and lasting business results.
