Ted spent 31 years with Procter & Gamble where he was Managing Director of Global Applications (IT) and founded the Global Analytics group (computer modeling of business functions to optimize or simulate them). Previously he was the CIO for P&G in Asia. He was known at P&G for combining IT with Analytics to deliver very high business benefit projects. He initiated and managed four that each delivered over $400million in savings, all in the supply chain area.
Since April 2000, he has consulted primarily in the area of applying analytics and IT to the supply chain. Projects include:
Siting/Sourcing studies for clients who have acquired other companies or who must look to overseas sourcing to be competitive. A Supply Chain Network Optimization Model often generates 5-15% savings.
Simulations of supply chains to help clients develop operating strategies that maintain high customer service levels at lower levels of inventory by looking at scheduling, product mix, push vs. pull inventory, distribution policies, etc.
IT Strategies that maximize the business benefits of the client's IT investment. There are important prerequisites to installing ERP systems such as SAP that most companies don't do; and therefore limit their benefits.
Clients have included King & Prince Seafood, Senco Products, P&G, General Mills, Church & Dwight, the Cincinnati Olympics Committee – 2012, Perfetti van Melle, and X-tek.
While at P&G, Ted's organization won awards for being the best in the world at implementing SAP (a world-wide McKinsey study funded by SAP) and for applications of operations research to business (Informs Conference). The latter was a siting/sourcing study that saved $200million.
Ted graduated with honors from Iowa State University with a double major in Computer Science and Mathematics.
