Welcome to our New Friends Friend of the LAA Profile Dowling is a boutique consulting firm that balances pragmatism with innovation, to solve complex business problems. The firm was established in 2001, by a group of seasoned consultants with big five ability without the corresponding egos or pricing. Today, we employ a team of over 30 senior consultants and service a global portfolio of blue chip clients in the mining, metals, industrials, consumer goods, retail and logistics industries. In the year 2006/07 we were recognised on the BRW Fast Starters list as the 27th fastest growing firm in Australia. Dowling’s supply-chain management expertise spans planning, sourcing, procurement, manufacturing, distribution and logistics. An area of particular focus for us is the commercial and technical issues relating to supply-chain collaboration and logistics outsourcing. Too often, supply chain strategy exercises turn into expensive paper exercises. We are unique in our ability to develop pragmatic strategies that can be readily operationalised into process and technology change. This results in an earlier benefit stream and a source of competitive advantage. Our services include: • Strategy Formulation • Opportunity Diagnostics & Benchmarking • Strategic Sourcing & Procurement • Logistics & Warehouse Operations Transformation • Manufacturing Systems • Introduction of Lean Six Sigma Practices • Collaborative Planning, Forecasting & Replenishment • Solution Architecture (ERP, APS, WMS and E-commerce) • Trading Partner Enablement for B2B Our clients have included: Australia Post and Post Logistics, ANL Logistics, AMCOR, BlueScope Steel (Logistics), Repco, GUD, Pacific Brands, PMP, Zinifex, Nystar and NYK Logistics.
