Cross-practice capability
Supplier Development & Recovery
Sourcing a supplier is easy compared with making one production-ready. We assess, develop and, when it matters most, recover the suppliers your programmes depend on.
When to call us
The situations this work is built for.
A new supplier is behind on readiness.
Tooling, process or approvals are slipping, and the launch date is not.
A critical supplier is missing deliveries.
Output is below demand and nobody agrees on why.
Quality escapes keep recurring.
Corrective actions are closed on paper, and the defects return.
A supplier’s costs no longer add up.
Price increase requests, margin pressure, or a supplier in commercial difficulty.
A ramp-up is approaching.
Capacity has been assumed, not demonstrated.

On the shop floor
Our specialists read a supplier’s process the way the supplier’s own engineers do: the press line, the furnace, the machining cell, the weld fixture. That is where most bottlenecks, quality escapes and cost overruns begin, and where recovery has to start.
What we look at
- Process capability and control plans
- Bottleneck operations and changeovers
- Tool condition and maintenance
- Material flow and work in progress
- Sub-tier supply
- Commercial health
Ways to engage
Focused, time-boxed and on site.
