We will never take lightly the role that our sponsors have designated to us in a project in support of our sponsors’ goals. We are very proud of the trusting and valued relationships we have formed with those executives and key stakeholders in our client companies.

We have done a number of projects with SCAP during 2008 and 2009.  I have found them to have a great blend of creativity, strategic capability and down to earth practicality.  We have acted on their recommendations and fundamentally improved our supply chain performance both from an availability and cost perspective.  SCA's key strength is their ability to develop  theoretically sound concepts and then translate them into clear action plans that yield the desired outcomes.

Mark Poole Director of Corporate Strategy & Consumer and Appliance Care Whirlpool Canada

"We are very pleased with our association with Supply Chain Alliance Partners. They were on time, under budget and all milestones that could be delivered were - many exceeding expectations."

"Over the last year we have utilized the services of SCA as we have been implementing our new national distribution network. SCA has demonstrated their knowledge and ability to provide strategic input, operational implementation expertise as well as introduce best practices that has helped evolve our team and achieve the required results. They have proven themselves as a reliable and expert supply chain partner to our company."

"CFM recently completed a project that was a critical initiative for our company to gain the benefits from our acquisition strategy over the last few years. Supply Chain Alliance was brought in to provide the critical skills and expertise in managing the supply chain consolidation opportunities in our project. Their team successfully provided both Project Management experience and technical support for the new Warehouse Design, Warehouse Management Systems and operational procedures for our new consolidated facility in Joplin, Missouri. They are a preferred supplier for supply chain management services to our company."

Peter Olierook, Vice President Corporate Strategic Projects CFM Corporation

"Supply Chain Alliance gave us a great deal of support throughout the project. Their expertise was put to the test many times, but they always came up with the best solution. There’s no doubt in my mind that we could not have managed the SKU migration and the co-packers production planning in BPCS without their leadership. Job well done."

"As a fast growth business and a customized manufacturer we realized we needed to improve our overall operational performance. To ensure Sustainability of the Manufacturing Improvements key process metrics on Output, Downtime, and Scrap were put in place. At the same time we needed a better approach to overall Quality Assurance and Maintenance. We relied on the focused expertise of Supply Chain Alliance to provide the leadership and technical consulting support to our key managers in the operations area. We were extremely pleased with the results of their work and the positive impact they had in our business. We enjoyed the professionalism and attention they paid to our culture and the managers they supported. We would reach out to them again in the future for appropriate business needs."

"We engaged Supply Chain Alliance to support a few key initiatives in our business. These included providing expertise and support for the business requirements and selection of our WMS as well as developing a number of business case options regarding our distribution and manufacturing facilities and other service opportunities. We found SCA to provide the right experts where we needed support, were very professional and delivered the project mandates. We would be pleased to utilize their services in the future where required."

"Over the last 18 months, Supply Chain Alliance has proved to be a great resource and business partner to Deeley-Harley Davidson® Canada. Although their primary focus is on supply chain, they have also provided us with excellent operations planning, and project management expertise and assistance. Their operational work covered areas such as process re-mapping, DC design, and transportation. They had noteworthy success in helping us change the way our Retailers order product from us, and they supported the evolution of the way we manage that part of our business. This initiative has had great benefits in both reducing operating costs and increasing service to our Retailers. We intend to use their services again."

"Supply Chain Alliance has made a significant impact on the transportation component of our business. They have helped us realize a great opportunity and evolve the way we manage transportation in our Company. Working closely with us, they have developed a transportation program that will respond to meet the needs of our growing business from volume, service, and cost perspectives. SCA guided the effort to objectively and professionally engage the carrier community, and help us decide on a solution. Post implementation, we are enjoying substantial savings, along with a clear line of sight to the factors that drive our transportation costs. These savings, as compared to SCA’s professional fees, make the value of their services a great business proposition for us. We have developed a trusted working relationship with Supply Chain Alliance, and would happily turn to them for help with future projects where we could utilize their expertise and insight."

"We looked to SCA as we believed there was a better way for us to manage and leverage our outbound transportation expense and reduce a rising cost line but had difficulty making the progress we needed within the necessary timelines with internal resources. SCA took time to understand our business, pull the data together, made sense of our current volumes and costs and clearly indicated there was an opportunity for significant efficiencies. They professionally led an objective and rigorous process to engage the service provider community and helped us make a selection for a service provider solution. After 1 year of implementation the solution has easily exceeded our initial expectation for savings, which we have subsequently reinvested into our supply chain, to not only improve efficiencies, but ultimately service our customers with lower total delivery lead times. SCA continues to be a valuable supply chain and distribution partner and have proven to be experts in their discipline. Mazda Canada values SCA’s contribution to achieving our corporate objectives and would not hesitate to recommend them to any firm seeking an honest, and diligent partner."

"Based on Supply Chain Alliance’s in-depth analysis and recommendations, we outsourced our distribution process to a 3PL in early 2002. Since then, order quality and turnaround time have improved significantly, which has dramatically increased overall customer satisfaction. At the same time, the inherent efficiencies of a 3PL have reduced our distribution costs by 15%."

"Deriving logistics solutions while working collaboratively with the Client is what Supply Chain Alliance is all about. Their team of seasoned and expert supply chain professionals develop recommendations using strategic and intuitive approaches, in-depth analysis, and by immersing themselves in understanding the problem. They have been a very valued and supportive business partner to Levi Strauss and their consultation and guidance have been instrumental in our change."

“SCA brought clarity to the importance and mechanics of supply chain in our business. SCA bring a team of qualified experts and Wakefield Canada would be pleased to utilize their services again.”

“Supply Chain Alliance has been a key business partner and expert resource in supporting the implementation of some of our key supply chain initiatives. They have brought strategic vision, subject matter expertise and focus to the areas that we asked them to support us on and have had a significant impact on the success of the projects in which they have been an integral part of.”

All in all a successful partnership.“

SCA was successful in establishing a first stage of cross-functional integration that previously had not existed in our company. We have already achieved substantial cost reductions plus improved sales results through shorter lead times and a higher level of customer service performance. There is still a long way to go, but SCA has helped establish a solid base from which we can continue to move forward.”

Guenter Karhut, CEO ANH Refractories Company

We saw this as a necessary step and strategy to improve both top and bottom line, the efficiencies of our plants and most importantly in better servicing our customers.
