Calum Lewis launches advisory consultancy to help companies achieve sustainable financial growth through optimisation of their supply chain
Supply chain experts OP2MA is delighted to announce its launch into the UK market, under the helm of Founder and Principal Consultant, Calum Lewis.
Lewis launched OP2MA after a successful 25-year career in leading businesses and delivering exceptional operational and financial performance. With the LEGO Group, he embedded best practice supply chain management to drive five-fold sales growth in the UK/Ireland market whilst supporting LEGO’s climb to No 1 UK Toy Supplier.
OP2MA recognises the importance of operations in supply chain in relation to business performance, applying design-led thinking and methodology when optimising a supply chain. Its team of consultants look to understand business strategy, current operations and the impact this has financially in order to find an optimum outcome.
The consultancy takes a structured approach when looking at supply chain in order to understand different elements in the company, including: its people, their roles and their skills and capabilities. By using its unique and innovative analytical approach, OP2MA can design a successful supply chain, allowing companies to make the very most of an often, under appreciated and under used resource. OP2MA believes that people are at the core of a successful supply chain and combing this with design creates optimum results for businesses.
Managing the supply chain effectively is critical to sustainability and growth. All businesses can be set up for supply chain success and develop the capabilities to achieve excellence; it is not the exclusive preserve of large corporates. Creating an environment where supply chain excellence is inevitable is as much about people as it is about process and technology.
Applying innovative analysis with practical insight can define the scope and scale of opportunity for any business. The challenges to supply chain excellence are many and varied; coherent, data-driven analytics provide a compass in the face of uncertainty, turbulence, and increasingly demanding environments.
Calum Lewis, Founder and Principal Consultant said: “I created OP2MA with the belief that there is no reason why small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) should not have access to the ‘large corporate’ expertise and know-how that can transform supply chains to drive sustainable growth. The OP2MA team love working out what makes businesses tick, how they can improve, and applying pragmatic solutions. They believe that SMEs are critical for the economic prosperity and well-being of the communities in which they operate and are passionate about helping businesses grow and thrive.
“Our consultants have worked across all dimensions of the supply chain and in many sectors. We work flexibly, on an assignment basis, to align the most relevant skill set and experience to our clients. All our consultants have held significant line management roles as well as having excellent track records in delivering transformational supply chain performance and we are looking forward to helping businesses to achieve supply chain excellence in 2021 and beyond,” concluded Lewis.
