Lisa Anderson, Supply Chain & Manufacturing Expert, Introduces Services Framework to Help Manufacturers Clarify Supply Chain Priorities

CLAREMONT, Calif., May 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- LMA Consulting Group, Inc., a leading authority on manufacturing supply chain strategy and transformation, led by Lisa Anderson, MBA, CSCP, CLTD, President, has introduced a new services framework that helps manufacturers better understand and tackle the complexity of their supply chains.

Optimizing a supply chain is one of the most difficult challenges facing manufacturers today. From demand variability to technology gaps and process inefficiencies, the path to improvement isn't always clear. LMA's model provides a focused lens—dividing supply chain performance into three key, interconnected areas that must work together to drive results.

• Planning & Supply Chain Transformation – focused on demand and supply alignment
• Process Optimization & Harmonization – driving and syncing processes within multiple disciplines
• ERP & Technology Performance – leveraging intelligent and predictive systems

"When all three areas are aligned, the supply chain becomes resilient, scalable, visible and profitable for growth," said Anderson. "But figuring out where to start—and what to prioritize—is often the toughest part. This model gives executives an understandable framework to diagnose weaknesses, start meaningful conversations and focus their resources."

Rather than taking a broad-brush approach, the framework is designed to clarify where support is most needed. It also helps teams align cross-functional priorities and see the full picture—so they can move faster and make better decisions.

LMA Consulting Group uses this model to guide client initiatives ranging from SIOP (Sales, Inventory & Operations Planning) rollouts to ERP upgrades and end-to-end process improvement. "This is about helping leaders turn complexity into clarity—and supply chains into growth engines," Anderson added.
