What we solve
One supply chain. Every decision that shapes cost, service, and cash.
Most supply-chain problems don't stay in one function. We connect planning, sourcing, manufacturing, and logistics decisions so the whole chain performs, not just one part of it.
Planning & Integrated Business Planning
S&OP and IBP design, demand and inventory planning, and decision rules that move teams from firefighting to proactive trade-offs.
Manufacturing Performance
Throughput diagnostics, OEE improvement, bottleneck analysis, and standard work that turn opportunity into sustained results.
Logistics, Procurement & Supply Chain Finance
Transportation and warehouse cost, demurrage and detention, supplier terms, and working capital, linking operating decisions to cash.
Across all four, we codify the decision logic first, then apply analytics, optimization, and practical AI where they improve speed and consistency.
Decision tools
Put the numbers to work.
Practical supply-chain decision tools built from real operating questions. Each one shows the full result, with no account needed.

OEE Loss-to-Dollars Calculator
Turn availability, performance, and quality losses into hours, units, and dollars, and see what each point of OEE is worth to your plant.
Working capital

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.
How we work
Start with the decision—not the technology.
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.
Diagnose
Find the real constraint, quantify the performance gap, and separate symptoms from root causes.
Design
Define decision rules, future-state processes, operating standards, and the value case.
Deliver
Build practical tools, implementation plans, and governance with the people who will run them.
Sustain
Embed metrics, routines, ownership, and capability so performance holds after the project ends.
Selected experience
Measured in outcomes, not slide count.
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.
Built from both sides of the table.
Saurav combines the analytical discipline of a strategist with the practical judgment of an operator. Across 20 years in industry and consulting, he has led supply-chain work end to end: network design, integrated business planning, manufacturing performance, logistics, procurement, and supply-chain finance. His strength lies in translating complex data into practical decisions, executable solutions, and lasting business results.
