Franzetta & Associates Services
Franzetta & Associates assists our clients in three areas critical for an organization to evolve from a reaction-focused supply chain to a globally competitive ValueChain:
- Supply Chain Management
- Talent Searches
- Technology Recommendations
Supply Chain Management
Whether our client is a logistics service provider, manufacturer, retailer, software vendor or investment firm, our focus is always on the enhancement of profitable revenue growth.
While cost containment is always a primary consideration, our philosophy is that SCM offers some of the greatest opportunities for improving profitability by growing revenues. Cost containment can only provide a finite contribution to profitability, while far too often it adversely impacts sustained revenue production. A more revenue-centric approach to SCM can produce an unlimited range of profit opportunities.
We provide non-intrusive evaluation of our client’s supply chain and make recommendations which have proven to dramatically reduce cost and significantly increase revenues.
Our belief is that all supply chain management and logistics projects are, in reality, marketing projects. Effective supply chain management provides the greatest opportunity for any firm to rapidly grow profitable revenues.
Effective supply chain management is often enhanced by the utilization of third party logistics (3PL) services. We determine the appropriateness of 3PL involvement and recommend the best partner fit for that specific client from our broad 3PL network, remaining engaged throughout outsource integration.

If involvement of any of our Executive Associates (primarily former CEOs, presidents & EVPs) on a project is deemed appropriate, fees for this specific expertise is to be agreed upon prior to engagement. Typically these fees and travel arrangements are the same as those noted above.
If it is deemed appropriate to include subject matter expertise (SME) to a project, rates for and inclusion of such will be approved by our client in advance. However, such SME inclusion is seldom necessary.
