Supply chain consulting · Atlanta, Georgia

Nothing moves until somebody makes a call.

Chestnut works inside the constraint — network, inventory, logistics, systems, risk. Pick one line and we start on your numbers, not on the slideware.

Board state — five lines, one still unscheduled.

Inside the network

The network leaves on time whether or not you are ready.

Cost, service and risk move together. Change one and the other two move with it. We keep all three on the same board, with your data on it.

Services · five lines

Pick the constraint. Then we start.

Every line is a decision, not a destination. Take the one that is costing you the most.

Not sure where to start

Bring the constraint you already know about. We will tell you which line it belongs to.

  • One conversation, no deck
  • An honest read on whether we are the right fit

Five lines. One call to open the first.

Discovery calls are how every engagement here begins — with the constraint you are already carrying.

How it runs

Four rows. Then you run it.

  1. 01

    Send the picture

    Shipment, inventory, cost and system data — whatever you have. We work with the grain of it rather than waiting for perfect.

  2. 02

    We size the constraint

    We name the constraint and show what it is costing you to keep it.

  3. 03

    We build the board

    Options, trade-offs and a sequence you can run, with the numbers behind every row.

  4. 04

    You run it

    We stay on the board while the plan meets the network, and adjust where reality pushes back.
