Shive Supply Chain Solutions LLC was formed in 2015 by Geoff Shive to help food and consumer products companies get the most out of their supply chain. We’ll help you navigate change and we’ll help you drive continuous improvement. What changes do you need help navigating?
When you are ready for new planning software, we have the templates to help with the selection process. We’ve helped clients with the selection and successful implementation of new software. We also have experience helping clients maximize the benefits of current planning software. What software challenges do you need help with?
You need extra support during times of change. Whether you are changing software or your production and distribution network, we can help. Depending on your internal capabilities, we can either manage your project or back-fill your people who are assigned to the project. We’ll develop training in best practices to leverage existing resources and improve your key metrics.
In June 2020 Shive Supply Chain Solutions LLC became an an allied member of the National Restaurant Association. This will help us stay in touch with industry trends and projections so we can provide improved service to our clients who make foodservice products.
