ADVISORY | WORKING CAPITAL
Working capital optimisation.
Cash gets trapped in operations long before it shows up on the balance sheet. SreedharK Advisors releases it by improving planning, inventory posture, supplier terms and decision cadence, without disrupting supply continuity.
WORKING CAPITAL
Release trapped cash
Inventory, supplier terms and planning aligned so cash follows demand, not habit.
Where working capital hides
Seasonal build-up
Inventory built ahead of the season with no demand signal behind it.
Stale supplier terms
Payment terms and contracts that have not been renegotiated in years.
Long lead times
Procurement lead times that force excess safety stock.
Reactive scheduling
WIP accumulation from production plans that change week to week.
The approach
01
Diagnose where cash is tied up across procurement, planning and production
02
Improve demand visibility so inventory follows demand
03
Renegotiate key supplier terms and payment cycles
04
Restructure the supply chain operating model so the gains hold
How it works
Every engagement starts with a diagnostic, not a proposal. The BRIDGE Model structures the work across six operating dimensions, and the Stakeholder Spectrum Diagnostic maps the people and decision points that decide whether change sticks.
AGRIBUSINESS | WORKING CAPITAL AND SUPPLY CHAIN REDESIGN
Case study: agri-ingredients working capital
A mid-size agri-ingredients business scaling toward the next revenue threshold was sitting on trapped working capital. Long procurement lead times, seasonal inventory build with no demand signal to anchor it, and supplier terms that had not been renegotiated in years. The engagement restructured the supply chain operating model, improved demand visibility, and renegotiated key supplier terms. Working capital was released without disrupting supply continuity.
