We’re hiring.

Overview

Thru-Put Partners is the next generation of Supply Chain consulting. As our competitors continue to sink deeper into data analytics dependence and equipment, technology, and service providers offer consulting to best position their offerings, the results are generally more glossy reports or pseudo proposals than implementable designs. Thru-Put is focused on developing and deploying solutions that benefit our clients. We believe in analytics, but they’re a means to an end and that end requires un-biased thinking and vision.

We believe operations are the heart of supply chains. Therefore inside the four walls, automation, people, process, and systems technology have to reflect company culture and enhance customer service and not just working to minimize the last 1% of inefficiency. We are engineers at heart, we love numbers, and we justify what we design. However, we understand that major initiatives take time. To make all of this work outside of the conventional methods, we follow a hybrid traditional waterfall approach blended with agile methodology. Doing so lets us incrementally adapt solutions using software, flex space, and process updates from concept to full volume status. More importantly, it’s a better way to work.

We work with companies that understand the value of designing for tomorrow requires daily evaluation and adjustments to prepare and manage what’s next. If you are you a free-thinking innovator, and not a robotic analyst , and you’re interested in the helping clients reconsider their Supply Chains, we want to hear from you. We’re growing, want to hear great ideas, will help with your personal growth objectives and believe that if you’re going to help us, we want to do what we can to help you and be a part of your long term career goals.
