Supply Chain Diagnostic
A rapid, data-backed assessment of inventory, order fulfillment, and demand planning performance, with a prioritized list of opportunities sized in dollars.
Symptoms we hear
- Inventory keeps rising while stock-outs don't go away
- Order fill rate and OTIF slip and nobody agrees on why
- Forecast accuracy is low, unmeasured, or measured three different ways
- Expedited freight has become a normal line in the budget
Financial impact
- Balance sheet
- Inventory, working capital
- P&L
- COGS: premium freight, obsolescence
- P&L
- Net sales: lost sales, OTIF penalties
Best for: Teams facing high inventory, service issues, or low forecast accuracy who need a clear starting point.
Our approach

Baseline inventory, service, and forecast performance against Verdon's standard metric set. Interview planners, buyers, and Finance.
Diagnose

Size every opportunity against a named P&L or balance-sheet line and rank by value and effort.
Deliverables
