Northland Advisory helps small and mid-size product companies run leaner, more reliable operations. Twenty-six years on the plant floor and in the distribution network, put to work on the problems slowing your business down.
Northland Advisory works with product-based companies that make and distribute goods. We help you set the right operational direction, then stay in it long enough to make the change stick.
Find the constraints in how work actually moves through your business, and fix the ones that matter most first.
Sourcing, inventory, and distribution decisions grounded in decades of real manufacturing and distribution experience.
A clear plan is only half of it. We work alongside your team to put it into practice and see it through.
Chet Stuewe grew up on a purebred dairy farm in Hamburg, Minnesota, where seven-days-a-week, 365-days-a-year was just how the work got done. That habit of showing up and keeping things running carried into a 26-year career in manufacturing and distribution, most of it in operations and supply chain.
Northland Advisory is where that experience goes to work for other companies. We partner with owners and leaders of small and mid-size product businesses to sharpen operations, strengthen the supply chain, and get real change executed, not just recommended.
The goal is simple: leave your business running better than we found it.
No jargon and no long ramp-up. We start with what is actually holding you back and work from there.
We start with your operation as it really is, in your words, and find where the friction is coming from.
We set a clear, practical direction for operations and supply chain that fits the size and stage of your company.
We stay involved through the doing, so the plan turns into results your team can sustain.
