Most manufacturing companies are losing money right now due to poor forecasting, reactive inventory decisions, and undocumented processes. If your team is constantly firefighting instead of executing a plan — that's a solvable problem.

🔥
Chronic Firefighting

Stockouts, missed commits, and expediting costs are symptoms of a broken planning process — not bad luck. 32 Business Consulting fixes the root cause.

📦
Inventory Eating Cash

Too much of the wrong inventory, not enough of the right. Working capital tied up in parts that don't move — and shortages that cost you customers.

🧠
Knowledge Walking Out the Door

When key people leave, they take the operational knowledge with them. Without documented processes and succession plans, you're one departure away from a crisis.

Built on the floor.
Proven in results.

Most consultants optimize existing processes. Reggie Butler builds them from nothing. At Arrowhead Products, he designed and launched the company's entire SIOP infrastructure from scratch. At Phenomenex, he installed the PSI process from zero. At PCC Permaswage, he rebuilt the scheduling process post-Covid with limited resources and delivered results anyway.

That's the difference between someone who has read the playbook and someone who wrote it. 32 Business Consulting was founded in 2019 to bring that level of operational expertise to manufacturers, distributors, and growth-stage companies that need real solutions — not consulting theater.

Four Ways We Work Together

Full service details →
01
Planning
SIOP & Supply Chain Foundation

For manufacturers and distributors dealing with stockouts, firefighting, or unreliable delivery. We design and implement the planning infrastructure that aligns your entire business.

  • Design and implement SIOP/S&OP to align sales, ops, and finance
  • Build demand and supply planning tied to your MRP/ERP
  • Optimize inventory policies to reduce working capital without hurting service
  • Identify make-vs-buy opportunities to unlock hidden capacity
Client outcome: $4M inventory reduction + past-due backlog eliminated at a major aerospace manufacturer
02
Inventory & Cost
Inventory, Cost & Make-vs-Buy Reset

For companies that know inventory and cost structure are hurting cash and margin. We build the analysis and frameworks that turn reactive decisions into defensible strategy.

  • Analyze item-level demand and variability to set the right inventory strategy
  • Build a make-vs-buy framework balancing cost, capacity, risk, and control
  • Deliver clear, actionable cost and sourcing recommendations
  • Create an inventory reduction roadmap with cash flow impact modeled
Typical engagement: 8–12 weeks, focused on measurable financial impact
03
Strategy & Continuity
Strategy, Analytics & Continuity

For leadership teams planning for growth, transition, or recovery from disruption. We build the strategic roadmap and protect the operational knowledge your business runs on.

  • Develop an operations-anchored strategic plan (capacity, mix, footprint)
  • Design KPIs and executive dashboards tied to financial performance
  • Build business continuity and succession plans that protect institutional knowledge
  • Prepare operations for investment, acquisition, or leadership transition
Used by owner-operated businesses preparing for sale and companies recovering from disruption
04
Team Development
Training & Team Enablement

For teams that need to operate at a higher level — not just get a one-time fix. We build capability that sustains results long after the engagement ends.

  • SIOP, planning, and inventory fundamentals for planners and ops leaders
  • Lean / Six Sigma workshops built around your actual processes and data
  • Ongoing coaching to sustain new processes after implementation
  • Custom programs for onboarding new planning staff
Designed for supervisors, planners, and managers — delivered on-site or virtually

Is 32 Business Consulting the right fit?

32 Business Consulting works best with manufacturers and distributors feeling the strain of growth on their operations — but without a full in-house supply chain leadership bench.

  • Recurring stockouts, expediting, or past-due backlog
  • Inventory and capacity decisions feel reactive instead of planned
  • Implementing or re-implementing an ERP/MRP system
  • Preparing for a sale, leadership transition, or major growth push
  • Key people retiring and taking critical knowledge with them
  • No formal SIOP, PSI, or supply planning process in place
