IMPACT

The company improved inventory management and delivery metrics while extracting significant ongoing operational savings.

A $1.6B multinational food processing company employs over 3,000 people and produces private-label consumer packaged goods (CPG) in meal preparation segments.

FoodCorp* was divested from its parent organization, compelling a separation of the operational capabilities across the supply chain, including manufacturing and warehousing facilities, procurement, transportation, and other logistics.

Corporate divestiture required realignment of the organizations’ manufacturing and warehousing facilities.

Canada warehouse operations were strained prior to the divestiture, and separating the two companies’ activities was critical to restoring operational stability for both firms. FoodCorp enlisted Pariveda to manage the transition of their Canadian supply chain to an optimized footprint. The Pariveda team partnered with key stakeholders to plan and execute the remediation and preparation of a new facility, equipment acquisition and installation, onboarding of 3PL and Value-Added Service partners, and a multi-phase inventory transition plan.

How Pariveda aligned multiple workstreams for project delivery success:

Developed and managed an integrated workplan incorporating facilities, operations, transportation, manufacturing and VAS, customer/business partners, and service teams.
Coordinated and collaborated with leadership, planning, and operational teams in both the parent and divested organizations and multiple third-party logistics partners.
Led cross-functional subject matter expert teams to execute program tasks, resolve issues, and manage the change across multiple user groups.
