We don't plan for everyone. We work with manufacturers in three industries where getting the plan wrong is expensive.
For a fragrance house, a late ingredient isn't a footnote — it's a missed launch date, in front of retail partners who won't wait. Long lead times on rare ingredients, strict minimum order quantities, and a supply base with little room for error make timing the whole game. We plan around those realities, so your launch calendar holds.
Pharmaceutical manufacturing runs on strict, approved processes and suppliers you can't simply swap out to hit a number. We build plans that respect those constraints, and still hold up when a major contract win or a shelf-life deadline changes what you need to produce overnight.
Cosmetics ranges juggle constant shade and formula variations, tight retail launch windows, and packaging that's ordered months ahead of the product going inside it. One delayed component can hold up an entire seasonal range. We plan around those pressures, so your range launches complete, not piecemeal.
These three are where we specialise, but the underlying planning approach applies to any business that runs on demand forecasting, inventory and production planning. If that's you, we'd still like to hear from you.
