Case Study: FTSE 100 Manufacturer
Improved Supply Chain Resilience
The Challenge
The client managed a highly volatile supply chain comprising a broad and complex portfolio of suppliers and parts that was highly susceptible to supply chain shocks and lacked resilience. The supply chain and suppliers included relationships with long-standing suppliers to highly specialised and local SMEs. In particular, the reliance on, and performance of, niche suppliers had a disproportionate impact on the business.

The Squarcle Solution
Utilised the Squarcle Resilience Ladder to review the supply chain across the part specific, contractual, Supplier and physical supply chain environment
Identified and engaged stakeholders across the client business to understand the problem and define any knowledge, skills and experience gaps. Gathered in a vast array of data from the client’s Supply and Commercial Teams. Conducted resilience assessments of the Tier 1 suppliers, contractual environment and the physical supply chain. Advanced analytics and visualisation tools allowed the client to understand where their supply chain carried risk.
The Results
Designed and delivered a bespoke SC Resilience roadmap to transition to a proactive operating environment
Squarcle was an absolute pleasure to work with and managed to navigate the sensitive nature of our internal operating environment and complex supplier requirements with ease.
