Customers wait longer for orders
Backorders continue to increase
Slow-moving inventory accumulates
Warehouses continue filling up
EBITDA comes under pressure
Borrowing needs keep increasing
Service, inventory, and cash are all driven by the same operating decisions.
When those decisions drift apart, all three metrics suffer.
Historically high fill rates were crashing and inventory was growing rapidly.
Planning and sales were operating from different assumptions.

SEEING THE SAME PATTERN IN YOUR BUSINESS?
If service is slipping while inventory and working-capital pressure are rising, the visible symptoms may not be the real problem.
Inventory, fill rate, and S&OP for PE-backed manufacturers and distributors. Nothing else.
You work directly with Mike Ryan from discovery through implementation. No handoffs to junior consultants.
4–6 week assessments. 90-day implementation sprints. Fixed scope. Fixed fee. No surprises.
If an assessment does not identify at least three times the investment in quantified opportunities, your investment is refunded. Period. No exceptions.
Mike Ryan spent 20 years leading operations and supply-chain improvement inside companies including GE, Goodyear, Carlisle, Hines, American Standard, and Kohler.
He earned his Six Sigma Black Belt at GE and later helped build S&OP into “The Way We Work” at Goodyear, contributing to $253 million in cash flow.
Since founding The M. Ryan Group, Mike has worked directly with leadership teams to diagnose the problems behind declining service, growing inventory, and tightening cash.
No junior team. No handoff. You work directly with Mike from assessment through implementation.
You may be a good fit if you are:
• $50M–$350M manufacturer or distributor
• PE-backed or privately held
• Service levels aren't where they should be
• Inventory continues growing despite improvement efforts
