Strategic Supply Chain Services for Growing Businesses
End-to-end supply chain transformation for small and mid-size Canadian businesses.
SSCE provides practical, executive-level support to stabilize operations, improve flow, and build supply chains that scale sustainably.
Many growing organizations struggle with hidden bottlenecks, unclear processes, and constant firefighting — all of which drain time, resources, and focus. SSCE helps you uncover what’s really holding your supply chain back — and provides clear, actionable guidance to fix it with confidence. From diagnostics and process redesign to implementation support and leadership coaching, every engagement is built to deliver measurable, lasting improvements.
Backed by three decades of leading global supply chain operations — applied to the realities of Canadian SMEs.
The SSCE Performance Program
Your supply chain transformation delivered in three clear, structured levels — designed to meet you exactly where you are and build momentum toward measurable, lasting improvement.
Each level deepens clarity, strengthens alignment, and supports your organization as it moves from understanding the problem to implementing solutions and sustaining performance.
Level 1 - Diagnostic and Gap Assessment
A focused end-to-end assessment that identifies root causes, quick wins, and clear priorities so you know exactly where to focus first.
Understand the Problem
A focused, end-to-end review of your supply chain designed to uncover what’s really driving delays, firefighting, rising costs, and operational instability. The assessment identifies root causes, quick wins, and high-impact priorities — giving your team clarity on where to focus first
Who This is For
Organizations experiencing recurring operational issues, unclear processes, unreliable data, or growing complexity — and need a clear, objective view of their biggest opportunities for improvement.
Typical Timeline
2–4 weeks (scope dependent)
What's Included
- End-to-end current-state assessment (processes, data, roles, and systems)
- Detailed process mapping and bottleneck analysis
- Assessment of planning, purchasing, inventory, and logistics processes
- Review of roles, responsibilities, and decision-making routines
- Evaluation of data accuracy and system behaviors
- Identification of quick wins and longer-term improvement priorities
What You Receive
You receive a clear, actionable diagnostic package designed to help you understand root causes and confidently take next steps:
Comprehensive Findings Report summarizing performance gaps, risks, root causes, and improvement opportunities
Prioritized Improvement Map outlining where to focus for the highest operational and financial impact
Top 3–5 Quick Wins your team can implement immediately
High-Level 30/60/90-Day Roadmap to guide early momentum and next-phase execution
Expected Outcome
A clear understanding of what’s working, what’s not, and why — supported by a practical roadmap that identifies exactly where to focus first for the greatest operational impact. Your organization leaves this phase with clarity, alignment, and a confident path forward.
This assessment forms the foundation for Level 2 — Solution Design — should you choose to move forward.
Level 2 — Diagnostic + Solution Design
Builds on the diagnostic to deliver a practical, future-state blueprint with defined processes, governance, and a prioritized implementation plan.
