Distribution Consulting Services Offered:

Use Time-driven Distribution as one of your most powerful strategic weapons! Drive down the time it takes to develop and deliver new products, dramatically reduce inventory and order fulfillment time. Slash the cost of quality, and win market share. This strategy provides you with the means to do it.


Substantial market share has been lost over years to foreign competitors. No industry is immune. The pressure is on to be the nothing less than the best. But being the best takes serious change and it's no easy matter.

You've got to streamline your warehouses, supply base, factories, systems and organizations, and open up lines of communication. You've got to break down barriers between departments and put an end to the "we've always done it this way" argument. You've got to get your employees highly involved in assuming new responsibilities if you're going to compete in the global markets in the next decade.

If you are a distributor, Rockford Consulting Group can help you increase your competitiveness by reducing throughput time, reducing lead times, increasing capacity, reducing costs, increasing flexibility, reducing inventory, and increasing quality, through selection and implementation of the right distribution strategy for your company.

 We are a boutique consulting firm that specializes in manufacturing, distribution and supply chain management.  We serve companies wishing to become world-class performers.  We get results!!!

Key to the success of an agile supply chain is the speed and flexibility with which parts, information, and decisions flow through an organization. The faster materials, information, and decisions flow through an organization the faster it can respond to the demands of the market.

Achieving agility starts with the physical flow of parts, from the point of supply, through the factory, and shipment through agile distribution channels. Agility requires a company to be nimble in its response to changing needs of the market.

We have proven techniques for successful distribution network design, location selection, logistics optimization, distribution center design, BPR, and ERP implementations that produce measureable, achievable, and substantial financial benefits, as well as substantial productivity increases for our clients.

We are strong with distribution implementations, because we are intimate with distribution processes at the detailed work instruction level. Contact us (click here) for more information on how we can improve your operations.
