we can help you deliver real business results – things like increased revenues and market share. How can we be so sure? Because we’ve created the perfect formula for business improvement; cascading knowledge transfer from us to you.
Unlike other consultancies, we don’t do the job for you. We teach you how to do it right, the first time, so you can continue to pass that knowledge on and make improvements long after we’re gone.
And where does that knowledge stem from? Every one of our Oliver Wight Partners played a major role in improving business performance at their own organization through successful transformation projects. They have all held senior positions in well-known companies across diverse industries, countries and cultures. So, they understand what your day to day challenges are and how to overcome them.

A pioneer of planning processes, Oliver Wight was recognized around the world as an innovator, helping businesses increase productivity, improve inventory turnover and customer responsiveness.
Emphasizing the importance of the people side of manufacturing solutions set Ollie apart as a leading thinker in business education, always looking to the future and finding ways to advance.
In 1969 Oliver Wight’s goal was to ‘make production and inventory control just a little bit better than it was before’. Over 50 years have passed and we have worked with some of the world’s leading businesses to revolutionize their processes.
Ollie once said, quite modestly, “I’ve left some footprints.” Those who have chosen to follow them are better off both personally and professionally.
Ollie’s sensitivity to people broke down barriers. He communicated his innovative ideas in a way that gained acceptance, commitment and enthusiasm.
Somewhere in the early years of the computer revolution, the role of people was misplaced. Ollie’s personal mission was to reposition people as a vital part of any business and educate them with the understanding that they need to use new tools. As he put it, “Computers are not the key to success, people are.” This remains a core philosophy of the Oliver Wight companies.
Ollie had two great gifts; he could take complicated subjects, unravel them, and make them simple. He used these gifts to build an enduring legacy in business processes. Nearly every company using his planning processes and philosophies experienced significant business benefits.
“The workshop is a great starting point to understand the position of supply chain in the IBP process and it is a must go to if you are beginning an IBP journey.”
Hans de Goeij, Director Supply Chain Management at MSD Boxmeer the Netherlands
