Hear from Clients About the LMA Experience
Supply Chain challenges vary from company to company. In fact, the supply chain touches every part of an organization.
At LMA Consulting, we work side by side with our clients so that when we leave, they have a process in place – a process they understand and that works.
Armacell LLC retained us to help them resolve inventory, customer service and other challenges. Here are comments from senior management, operations management, supply chain management and sales on their experience and how we partnered with them to assess, address and engage in turning around an alarming downward trend.
