Fractional supply chain leadership
Senior supply chain leadership, without the full-time hire.
JSI Partners puts an experienced supply chain leader inside your company as your fractional Chief Supply Chain Officer or S&OP lead. We run the process with your team, fix what is costing you, and use BetterDemand to fill the technology gaps.
You have outgrown spreadsheet planning, but a full-time supply chain executive is not in the budget yet.
Sales, operations and finance are each working from a different number.
The schedule changes every day and nobody can say what it cost.
Your ERP went live, but planning still happens in Excel.
What we do
Fractional Chief Supply Chain Officer
Own planning, purchasing, inventory and logistics. Lead your team and report to the owner, CEO or board. Build the team and help you hire your full-time leader when it is time.
Fractional S&OP lead
Stand up and run monthly S&OP: demand review, supply review and the executive meeting, so the business works from one plan. Run it with your team until they own it.
Demand and supply planning
Forecasts built from your history and your customers, safety stock and reorder points, and finite capacity scheduling the plant can follow.
ERP and planning system implementations
Selection, rollout and rescue of Aptean, Business Central, SAP, Kinaxis and others, including getting stalled implementations back on track.
Custom dashboards in days
We pull the exports from the systems you already have and build the view you need to drive improvements, often in hours.
Where this comes from
Built on real planning work
- Supply chain and planning roles at Campbell's and Walmart.
- Supply planning for the Plexiglas business at Arkema.
- Led demand and supply planning for a global clinical diagnostics business across eight countries, and rescued a stalled Kinaxis implementation.
- Built commercial revenue forecasts and supported product launches in oncology, cell therapy and HIV at a global biopharma company.
- Six Aptean ERP implementations at food manufacturers and distributors.
- Director level lead for a global clinical trial technology rollout during COVID.
Our technology
The technology behind the work
Most mid-market plants do not need a bigger ERP. They need to see what each schedule change does to the week. BetterDemand, the planning software we built, shows which orders go late, what runs short and what it costs, from the exports you already have. We use it inside our engagements, and you keep it after.
