﹡Operations & Supply Chain

We improve how companies operate.

A senior team that redesigns the processes, planning, supply chains and management systems that turn business goals into execution — so the business can perform, grow and scale.

Strategy sets the direction.We build the operation that gets you there.

﹡When we come in

The business is changing. Prepare the operation for what's next.

Whether the business is growing, under pressure or changing direction, the operation has to follow. It usually shows up in one of three ways:

Growing
  • Growth is creating chaos, not leverage.
  • New products, sites or customers add complexity faster than the operation absorbs it.
  • Key processes live in a few people's heads.
  • Systems and spreadsheets aren't keeping up.
Improving performance
  • Costs are climbing and margins are slipping.
  • The operation carries more cost and complexity than the business needs.
  • Good people spend their days firefighting; planning is reactive.
  • Management can't clearly see what's happening.
Changing direction
  • A new strategy, owner or leadership team sets a different course.
  • Entering new markets, channels or footprints.
  • Integrating an acquisition or reshaping the network.
  • You want automation or AI, but aren't sure where it would pay off.
﹡What we do

We work on the whole operating system.

People, process, infrastructure, planning, supply chain, management, data and technology all have to work together to deliver what customers need. Our work falls into four areas.

Workers sorting fresh produce on a processing line

Run better

Process, productivity, capacity, cost and quality. Operational excellence — lean, theory of constraints, standard work — plus the capability to keep improving after we leave.

Supply chain planning flow from supplier to customer

Plan better

Demand, supply, inventory, purchasing, production and scheduling, tied together by a sales & operations planning process that actually drives decisions.

Consultant reviewing operations performance metrics on a laptop

Manage better

KPIs, ownership, routines and visibility, so problems surface early and the right people make the call.

Team working together on laptops

Enable better

Systems, workflows, data, automation, integrations and AI — chosen to fit the operation, not the other way around.

Engagements range from focused projects to end-to-end operations and supply chain transformation.

﹡The modern operations lens

The problems haven't changed. What's possible has.

We don't start by asking where AI could go. We start by asking how the operation should work — then whether today's technology means a process should work differently.

Sometimes the answer is an AI agent. Sometimes it's a cleaner process, a clear owner, or a good Excel model.

Scheduling
Optimization and dynamic replanning
Management routines
Reviews prepared for you, issues highlighted, actions tracked
✳ How it fits together

Two layers, one seam.

AI is only as good as the operation it runs on — so we build both, and the seam between them.

AI
Built in-house · model-agnostic

Data pipelines, agents & automations, and artifacts — models, dashboards, tools.

Sharper, faster decisions. Routine work automated.
The seam
Where AI meets the operation

Wiring AI into the right process steps — integration points, interaction design, guardrails.

AI applied where it counts.
Operations & Supply Chain
The operating backbone

Ops & supply-chain strategy, operating models, processes, org design.

Better service, lower cost, higher throughput.

﹡How we work

Understand it. Redesign it.
Make it run. Hand it over.

Every engagement is shaped to the problem, but the rhythm is the same: partners in the details, working alongside your team, until the new way of working holds.

01

Diagnose

Go to the floor, the data and the people. Map how work, materials, information and decisions actually flow, and find what's in the way.

02

Design

Redesign the process, the plan or the management system — and decide where technology earns a place, from a simpler process to automation or AI.

03

Implement

Build it side by side with your team: processes, routines, models and tools — and, where it fits, software and agents.

04

Hand over

Train, coach and step back once your team is running it. The capability stays when we leave.

﹡About ATP

A small, senior firm. On purpose.

ATP's partners have spent their careers advising operations and supply chains — across food and beverage, consumer goods, pharma, chemicals and electronics, in the US, Europe and Israel.

Our way of thinking is industrial engineering: look at the whole system, follow how work, materials, information and decisions flow, and redesign it to perform. What's new is the toolbox. We build software and AI tools in-house and run ATP on them ourselves — so we know where they help, and where they don't.

Expertise & experience

Work directly with experienced partners who are experts in their fields.

Hands-on

We dive into the details and focus on what actually moves the needle.

Built with your team

We implement side-by-side with your team — transferring the capability and training them to run it after we leave.

ATP is more than our initials.

It's who we are: Arbov, Tomashof and Pelleg.

It's what strong supply chains deliver: Available to Promise.

And it's where we help companies go: Accelerating to Performance.
