Spinnaker Launches Dedicated Renewable Energy Supply Chain Practice

Supply Chain Veteran Addresses the Unique Needs of Renewable Energy Companies with Comprehensive Set of Solutions

Denver – April 14, 2010 – Spinnaker, a leading supply chain consulting and execution firm, announced today a dedicated supply chain practice built to help Renewable Energy companies solve their most pressing supply chain challenges and drive long-lasting results.

Renewable Energy companies are dealing with a host of supply chain challenges ranging from volatile prices for commodities/services, a pressing need for both cost reductions and a more responsive approach to satisfying customer needs as well as managing ever increasing levels of competition. The supply chain represents an area for competitive differentiation and optimization for renewable energy companies yet many are struggling to tackle their supply chain issues on their own.

“Spinnaker built our reputation on delivering smart, practical and intelligent supply chain solutions for clients in a variety of industries,” stated Rob Benson, Spinnaker Co-Founder and Managing Principal. “The launch of this dedicated practice is in direct response from working with a host of companies in the Renewable Energy space and determining that their supply chain needs required a new approach,” Benson continued.

Spinnaker delivers supply chain solutions that assist clients in designing (or re-designing) an optimized supply chain to take advantage of opportunities for immediate operational improvement, cost savings and support enhanced levels of customer service. Spinnaker utilizes a set of proven methodologies/tools coupled with our supply chain solution experts to help Renewable Energy companies become more efficient, effective and grow profitably.

“Pinpointing the problem and identifying a comprehensive, long-term solution is often the most difficult part of the process. Spinnaker’s supply chain knowledge allows us to help clients quickly identify and propose supply chain solutions that drive a fast return on investment. In fact, we find that we are able to produce results twice as fast than if clients attempt to initiate a solution on their own,” stated Rob Schroeder, Renewable Energy Supply Chain Practice Lead at Spinnaker. “From equipment manufacturers, to project developers and integrators, to construction firms, Spinnaker has developed a customized set of services that addresses the unique challenges facing rapidly growing renewable energy companies.  The bottom line is that we help renewable energy companies reduce costs, make or install faster and be more efficient with resources.”

Spinnaker utilizes a suite of solutions ranging from Supply Chain Planning Services, Sourcing/Procurement Services and Logistic Services to solve complex supply chain challenges. Learn more about Spinnaker’s Renewable Energy practice.
