Supply chain help sized for growing manufacturers.
Big-firm supply chain programs are built for big companies. Claraxis gives small and mid-sized manufacturers senior, hands-on help with the supply risks that actually stop production.
The problem
Common supply problems we see
Single-source exposure
One supplier for a critical raw material or component, with no qualified backup.
Packaging changes that stall
New or recyclable packaging stuck in qualification while launch dates slip.
Plans the floor can't keep
Schedules and inventory plans that don't match plant capacity or supplier lead times.
