We partner with manufacturing organizations to place the people who own how product flows, from customer demand through materials, production scheduling, and inventory. These are the roles that keep commitments to customers while controlling the cash tied up in inventory.

These roles sit at the center of the operation, connecting sales, production, and procurement. They are accountable not just for building a schedule today, but for the planning processes and supplier relationships that keep service levels high and inventory lean over time.

We’re most often engaged when companies need planning and materials talent who can:

• Run or rebuild an S&OP process that aligns demand, supply, and production
• Hold a production schedule stable in a high-mix or constrained environment
• Maximize inventory turns while protecting on-time delivery
• Manage supplier performance, sourcing, and materials availability

• Materials Managers
• Master Schedulers
• Production and Demand Planners
• S&OP Managers
• Buyers and Buyer/Planners

• Plant Managers and Site Leaders
• Operations and Production Managers
• Value Stream Managers
• Operational Excellence and CI Managers
• Lean and Six Sigma leaders
• Maintenance Managers

We partner with manufacturers to place the operations leaders who translate strategy into daily performance, and the continuous improvement talent who make that performance better over time.

These roles sit at the intersection of production, people, and process. They’re accountable for output, quality, and cost today, and for building the teams and systems that raise the operation’s ceiling tomorrow. When these leaders are strong, the whole plant runs with more stability and less firefighting.

We’re most often engaged when companies need operations and improvement leaders who can:

• Own plant-level or multi-site manufacturing performance
• Lead production teams across shifts in demanding environments
• Drive continuous improvement, lean, and operational excellence initiatives
• Improve throughput, quality, and cost without sacrificing safety

We partner with manufacturers to place the leaders who move product reliably and cost-effectively, from the warehouse floor through transportation and final delivery.

These roles sit where the supply chain meets the customer. They’re accountable for the accuracy, speed, and cost of fulfillment, and for the teams and systems that keep goods flowing as volume and complexity grow.

We’re most often engaged when companies need distribution and logistics talent who can:

• Run a distribution center or warehouse operation at the required service level
• Manage transportation, carriers, and freight cost
• Tighten inventory accuracy and fulfillment performance
• Scale a logistics operation through growth or change

• Distribution Center and Warehouse Managers
• Transportation and Logistics Managers
• Inventory Control Managers
• Fulfillment and Operations leaders

• Strategic Sourcing Managers
• Purchasing Managers and Buyers
• Commodity and Category Managers
• Direct and Indirect Procurement leaders
• Purchasing and Commodity Managers

We partner with manufacturers to place the people who decide what gets bought, from whom, and at what cost.

These roles sit between engineering, operations, and the supply base. They’re accountable for cost, supplier risk, and parts arriving when production needs them.

We’re most often engaged when companies need procurement talent who can:

• Build a sourcing strategy for direct materials and components
• Negotiate cost and terms while protecting supply
• Qualify and develop suppliers, including moves to new regions
• Manage commodity and category spend, direct and indirect

We partner with manufacturers to place the engineers who keep processes capable, launch new products, and hold quality where customers expect it.

These roles sit between design, production, and the customer. They’re accountable for yield, scrap, cost, and how smoothly a new product or line change reaches the floor.

We’re most often engaged when companies need engineering talent who can:

• Stabilize a process and bring down scrap, rework, and downtime
• Launch new products and engineering changes without disrupting production
• Run root cause analysis and corrective action, and keep the quality system working
• Support automation, line moves, and capacity expansions

• Process Engineers
• Manufacturing Engineers
• Quality Engineers
• Industrial Engineers
