Consulting Firm in Operations

Hello,

I currently hold the position of Senior Consultant in Supply Chain in a little french company. I am looking to specialize in operations strategy, particularly in manufacturing and supply chain.

Aside from McKinsey's Operations Excellence Program (OEP), which I am already familiar with, could you other consulting firms that focus on this area?

Thank you!

They also emphasize Industry 4.0 and digital supply chain transformations.

Bain offers strong capabilities in supply chain management, operational efficiency, and manufacturing strategy through its Performance Improvement and Operations practices.
    3.    EY-Parthenon
EY-Parthenon specializes in supply chain strategy, procurement, and operational performance improvements. (DM me for more details on EY-P)
    4.    Roland Berger
Roland Berger has a strong focus on manufacturing and supply chain in Europe, emphasizing Industry 4.0, lean operations, and operational transformations.

Hope this is helpful!

Best,
