Why now: tariff impact on your supply chain, suppliers and cash
The rules, lead times and costs your plan was built on keep shifting. Here is what recent public sources show.
Tariff rules keep changing
The Supreme Court ruled in February 2026 that IEEPA does not authorize tariffs, and new Section 301 tariffs on imports from 60 trading partners took effect on July 24, 2026, so the legal footing has shifted more than once this year.

Supplier timing is the harder problem
Netstock’s 2026 planning benchmark found that lead-time variability affects most surveyed small and mid-size businesses, and most of them use no alternative procurement strategy.
Dead stock is building up
The same Netstock benchmark reports that dead stock as a share of excess inventory roughly doubled between 2024 and 2026, tying up cash that small businesses could use elsewhere.

How our supply chain consulting works
Three steps from first call to a plan your team can run.
1
Call
Bring one hard problem to a free 30-minute conversation. We clarify the decision, who owns it, what you already know and what data exists. If one of our service lines fits, we say which one. If it does not, we say that too.
2
Diagnose
We review the right data, walk the process where it matters and talk with the people who do the work. Throughout, we separate facts from assumptions. The scope is agreed in writing before work begins.
3
Execute
You get a clear plan, working tools and the next decision, whether that is a risk map, a layout option, a planning routine, a KPI view or a short action list with owners.
Supply chain consultant FAQ
What does a supply chain consultant do?
A supply chain consultant reviews how you buy, plan, store and move product, finds where cost, delay or risk is building up, and gives you a practical plan and working tools to fix it. At Statadventure that can mean mapping tariff exposure by part and supplier, comparing backup or nearshore sources, right-sizing inventory and S&OP, improving plant and warehouse flow, or building dashboards your team can keep using. We separate facts from assumptions so nobody confuses an estimate with a measurement.
How much does supply chain consulting cost?
Our supply chain consulting is fixed-price. We confirm the scope after a free call, agree the exact work and price in writing before anything starts, and you know the cost up front instead of paying open-ended hourly fees. Because every plant, product family and data set is different, we do not publish a one-size-fits-all rate.
When should a manufacturer hire a supply chain consultant?
Common triggers are tariff or trade changes that hit your costs, suppliers that are late or hard to predict, too much of the wrong stock alongside stockouts, planning that lives in spreadsheets, a plan to add a second source or bring production closer to home, and costs that rise without a clear cause. A consultant is most useful when you have a defined problem and some operating data, and you want an outside view and a plan your team can run.
What is included in supply chain consulting services?
It depends on the problem, and we scope it with you on a free call. Typical work includes tariff and trade exposure analysis, supplier diversification and reshoring options, inventory optimization and S&OP, sourcing and logistics visibility, and plant and warehouse flow. You receive working deliverables such as a risk map, a planning model, a KPI view or a short action list with owners. We start with the data and tools you already have, such as ERP exports and spreadsheets, and recommend new software only if it is needed.
Do you work with small and mid-size manufacturers across the US?
Yes. Statadventure is based in Burlington, Massachusetts and serves small and mid-size manufacturers and growing businesses across the US. We right-size the work around a product family, line, facility area, supplier set or project, so a smaller team can start with one useful question. We do not guarantee savings or results; outcomes depend on your data, decisions and follow-through.
