Supply chain strategy and planning consulting is a subset of corporate strategy consulting. Gartner defines the latter as “strategic advisory services that analyze risks and opportunities for clients, working with them to develop a detailed strategic roadmap.” Supply chain operations consulting is a specialized form of business operations consulting, which Gartner defines as “transformation advisory services that improve quality and efficiency for business operations in an organization.” These services focus on improving operations in functions that have physical assets, such as manufacturing, warehousing and logistics. Supply chain leaders often need help from consulting firms across a spectrum of projects. These leaders include chief supply chain officers (CSCOs), supply chain strategists and functional supply chain leaders in planning, logistics, customer service, manufacturing, and sourcing and procurement. Projects can range from developing supply chain strategy and strategic planning to implementing new practices in specific functions.
