$400M+ automotive aftermarket supplier: $20M in opportunities identified across the supply chain

Situation

A $400M+ automotive aftermarket supplier engaged Cameo Consulting to answer a direct question: how much value is sitting in the supply chain, and where? The business had grown, but its planning, inventory, and logistics practices had not kept pace. Ownership wanted a fact base it could act on, not a generic benchmarking report.

Approach

• Assessed 4 areas in 6 weeks: SIOP, working capital, technology and logistics capabilities, and procurement effectiveness.
• Interviewed leaders across planning, purchasing, operations, and logistics to map how decisions actually get made.
• Analyzed the company's own demand, inventory, freight, and spend data rather than relying on management estimates.
• Sized every gap as a dollar opportunity and ranked the list by value and effort.
• Reviewed draft findings with management before finalizing, so nothing in the report came as a surprise.

Results

• Roughly $20M in improvement opportunities identified across the 4 areas assessed.
• Every opportunity sized in dollars and tied to a specific fix, giving ownership a prioritized value creation agenda.
• Findings delivered in 6 weeks, in time to feed the company's next planning cycle.
