Fractional Operations & Supply Chain Leadership

End-to-end supply chain strategy and execution.

Northland Advisory gives small and mid-size product companies fractional operations and supply chain leadership, senior-level experience on demand, without a full-time hire. When the cost of goods keeps climbing, cash is tied up in inventory, or customer delivery has become unreliable, we deliver results.

What we do

Strategy at a high level, execution where it counts.

Northland Advisory works with product-based companies that make and distribute goods. We help you set the right operational direction, then stay in it long enough to make the change stick.

✦

Operations

Find the constraints in how work actually moves through your business, and fix the ones that matter most first.

✦

Supply chain

Sourcing, inventory, and distribution decisions grounded in decades of real manufacturing and distribution experience.

✦

Strategy & execution

A clear plan is only half of it. We work alongside your team to put it into practice and see it through.

In their words

Chet delivered on everything he was asked to do. He saved the company millions by finding new suppliers and negotiating with existing ones, and I always found him to have a solid and strategic perspective on any project he took on. He is a top-notch supply chain and procurement leader, and I would welcome him back with open arms.

Former VP, Product Development & Engineering

Chet successfully sourced the direct materials and software we needed and led cost-saving initiatives that saved the company millions of dollars each year. I personally promoted him twice, and he exceeded my expectations in everything I asked of him.

Former SVP, Global Operations
