Tyler's path to the planning desk started in U.S. Army logistics and ran through the shipping dock before it ever reached an office: receiving, inventory control, buying, planning, then enterprise SIOP across five manufacturing sites. He's held nearly every seat in the supply chain, which is why he doesn't talk down to the people in them.
Along the way he ran demand-to-capacity planning for a $100M+ operation spanning aerospace, defense, medical, and industrial manufacturing, at names like Arconic, Curtiss-Wright, Graco, Celestica, and Chandler Industries.
The results
40% fewer expedites. 97% inventory accuracy. 95% on-time delivery across 27 work centers. Whole organizations moved off spreadsheet dependency and onto plans their leadership could actually trust.
The toolkit
Epicor Kinetic. SQL. SIOP architecture. AI-assisted forecasting and planning automation. He's built it, debugged it, and made the calls, which means recommendations come from implementation scars, not vendor brochures.
The approach
We're software-agnostic: we recommend the platform that fits your business and budget, not the one that pays the biggest commission. We build so your team can eventually run it without us. And we say the quiet part out loud when a shiny tool won't earn its keep on your floor.
The podcast
Tyler hosts The Planning Desk, the manufacturing planning podcast, where planners, schedulers, and supply chain leaders get straight talk with no vendor pitch. Eight episodes in, 5.0 stars on Apple Podcasts, with guests from aerospace, defense, and medical manufacturing. It is the same thinking we bring to client work, published in public.
