ABOUT MIKE WYNN

I work with manufacturing executives to reduce costs on existing spend and ensure new programs and product launches are cost competitive. For over 20 years, we’ve worked with the purchasing teams at manufacturing organizations of all sizes. Delivering cost savings has always been a priority for them; nearshoring the supply base is now an urgent issue for many. We combine deep commodity/category expertise with repeatable processes to deliver results for manufacturing purchasing teams looking to implement cost reductions and regionalize their supply base- A proven process to help manufacturers quickly achieve cost reductions on direct materials and indirect spend categories, with savings implemented in as little as 14 weeks. Ideal for categories with $2M -$20M annual spend under management. Some examples of actual savings:$560k annual savings on MRO at a $1B commercial truck manufacturer $485k annual savings on resins at a $250M plastics packaging manufacturer $390k annual savings on corrugated packaging at a $1B automotive supplier A proven process to help manufacturers quickly identify capable suppliers. Often used for regionalization initiatives to nearshore the supply base to the U.S, Mexico, or Canada. Some examples of recent projects: Identified Mexican suppliers for 3 commodities to support a new plant for an auto trim supplier Identified U.S. stamping and machining suppliers for a make vs. buy study at a valvetrain components supplier Identified turned parts suppliers to nearshore the supply base for an electrical components mfg. APD’s streamlined process for delivering durable cost savings through re-alignment of the supply base. Best for categories with $10M or more annual spend under management. Some recent project examples:$5.2M annual savings on metals identified for an insulation and roofing manufacturer $1.8M annual savings on wire harnesses identified for a commercial truck manufacturer $1.4M annual savings on MRO identified for an electric steering supplier Whether you’re looking to regionalize the supply base, achieve cost reductions, or both – APD projects deliver results. As the President of a valve train component manufacturer put it, “Working with APD has gone excellent, they are good champions. The ROI is off the chart. I would recommend APD 100%.”
