Why do deliveries keep slipping?
Late deliveries cost you customers’ trust, overtime and expediting. This check looks at the whole chain, from sales order and planning to the shop floor and your suppliers, to find out why orders go out late and what would make your delivery dates reliable again.
Signs this check could help.
- Customers chase you for orders, and your team spends its time firefighting.
- Overtime and express shipments are up, but on-time delivery is not improving.
- Planning looks fine on paper but does not hold on the floor.
- Late or incomplete supplier deliveries keep holding up production.
The questions this check answers.
Clear answers to the questions an owner asks, in plain language and with the numbers behind them.
- Where do orders actually lose time: in planning, on the floor or at suppliers?
- Which bottlenecks and causes matter most?
- Are our lead times and promised dates realistic?
- What should we fix first to deliver on time, and what is it worth?

We agree the focus with you first. Then we follow a selection of orders through your business, look at your planning, production and supplier data, and talk to the people who make it happen. We work on site and remotely, in whatever way suits the work.
A report and a conversation.
- A written report: where the time goes, the main causes, and the first actions we would take.
- A conversation with you, the owner, to go through the findings and agree what makes sense for your business.
Every check has a fixed fee, agreed with you before we start. No surprises.
