Cameo Consulting

One way to start

The Supply Chain Value Assessment

A quantified list of savings opportunities, sized in dollars and sequenced into a roadmap. Then you decide what to do with it, on your own or with Cameo Consulting. If you already know where the money is, you do not need this to get started, Cameo Consulting can go straight to the work.

Which scope is right for you?

The Supply Chain Value Assessment is Cameo Consulting's entry engagement. It answers one question: how much money is trapped in your supply chain, and where? You choose the scope. A Rapid Diagnostic covers one domain in 2 weeks. A Full Assessment covers five domains in 4 to 6 weeks. Both end with a dollar-sized opportunity register and a prioritized roadmap, for a fixed fee quoted after a 30-minute scoping call.

2 weeks

Rapid Diagnostic

2 weeks, one domain

Pick the area that hurts. Cameo Consulting goes deep on that single domain and comes back with sized opportunities and a recommended sequence.

  • Freight
  • Inventory
  • Warehousing
  • Planning

A good fit when you already suspect where the money is and want proof before committing to anything bigger.

4 to 6 weeks

Full Assessment

4 to 6 weeks, five domains

The output is a single view of every opportunity, ranked by dollar value and effort.

  • Transportation
  • Network and footprint
  • Inventory
  • Planning
  • Data/AI readiness

A good fit for new ownership, a new operations leader, or a business where costs have crept up in several places at once.

What happens week by week?

1

Week 1

Data intake

You send the raw files (freight invoices, item masters, shipment history). Cameo Consulting loads, cleans, and validates them, and flags any gaps in the first few days so nothing stalls later.

2

Weeks 2 to 3

Analysis and interviews

The numbers get benchmarked against market rates and peer performance. In parallel, interviews with 5 to 10 of your people surface what the data cannot: workarounds, constraints, and the things everyone knows but nobody has written down.

3

Weeks 3 to 4

Opportunity sizing

Every finding gets a dollar range, a confidence level, and an effort estimate. If an idea cannot be sized, it goes in an appendix, not the register. No vague "improvement areas".

4

Final week

Findings and roadmap readout

A working session with your leadership team, not a document dump. You leave knowing what each opportunity is worth, what order to attack them in, and what each one requires.

A Rapid Diagnostic compresses the same four steps into 2 weeks on one domain.

What do you get at the end?

  • An opportunity register with dollar sizingEvery opportunity listed with a savings range, the assumptions behind it, and the data that supports it.
  • A prioritized roadmapOpportunities sequenced by value, effort, and dependency, so you know what to do first and why.
  • An executive readoutA live session plus the written document, built for the people who approve budgets.
  • Data findingsWhat your systems can and cannot answer today, and what to fix so the next decision gets easier.

What Cameo Consulting needs from you

Less than you might think. A typical list:

  • Freight invoices or carrier settlement data, 12 months if you have it
  • An inventory snapshot and an item master export
  • A few hours of interview time across operations, procurement, and finance
  • One point of contact who can chase down files

Messy exports are fine. Every engagement starts from raw data, and cleaning it up is part of the job, not a reason to delay.

Does this actually find money?

Two examples.

Automotive Aftermarket $400M+ Automotive Aftermarket Supplier
$20Min improvement opportunities identified in six weeks

Ran the full format: opportunities across SIOP, working capital, technology and logistics capabilities, and procurement.

The same assessment format has found savings across freight, network, inventory, and procurement. See the results

What does it cost?

A fixed fee, quoted after a 30-minute scoping call. The fee depends on scope (one domain or five) and data complexity, and it is agreed before any work starts. No hourly meters, no open-ended billing, no surprise change orders.

Frequently asked questions

What happens in the assessment?
Four steps: data intake, analysis and interviews, opportunity sizing, and a findings and roadmap readout. A Rapid Diagnostic compresses these into 2 weeks on one domain, such as freight or inventory. A Full Assessment runs 4 to 6 weeks across transportation, network, inventory, planning, and data/AI readiness.
What data do you need?
Files you already have: freight invoices, an inventory snapshot, and standard system exports, plus a few hours of interviews with your team. Perfect data is not required. Part of the assessment is finding out what your data can and cannot tell you.
What do we get at the end?
Four deliverables: an opportunity register with dollar sizing, a prioritized roadmap, an executive readout, and a summary of data findings. Everything is yours to act on, with Cameo Consulting or on your own.
What does it cost?
A fixed fee, quoted after a 30-minute scoping call. A 2-week Rapid Diagnostic costs less than a 4 to 6 week Full Assessment. There is no open-ended billing on either scope.
