Built by an operator.
For operators.
Schepp Consulting was founded on a simple premise: the best supply chain advice comes from people who have actually run supply chains — not just studied them.
Lauren Schepp
Founder & Principal Consultant
Lauren Schepp has spent her career inside mid-market distribution and manufacturing operations — leading WMS implementations, redesigning DC networks, building labor standards programs, and managing the organizational change that makes any of it stick.
Before founding Schepp Consulting, Lauren held operational leadership roles across industrial distribution, consumer goods, and food and beverage — giving her firsthand experience with the constraints, pressures, and organizational dynamics that mid-market companies actually face.
She founded Schepp Consulting because she kept seeing the same pattern: companies paying for strategy they couldn't execute, or technology that didn't fit how their operations actually ran. Schepp Consulting exists to close that gap.
Methodology
Every engagement follows the same discipline, regardless of scope.
Diagnose before prescribing
We don't arrive with a pre-packaged answer. Every engagement starts with a rigorous assessment of your specific situation — your systems, your data, your team, your constraints — before any recommendation is made.
Scope to the real problem
We scope engagements to what actually needs to be solved, not to maximize billable hours. If a two-week audit is what you need, that's what we propose. If you need 12 months of implementation leadership, we'll tell you that too.
Stay through execution
Recommendations are only as good as their implementation. We stay engaged through go-live, hold ourselves accountable to outcomes, and don't hand off a deck and disappear.
Build capability, not dependency
The goal of every engagement is to leave your team more capable than we found it. We document, train, and transfer knowledge so the change outlasts the engagement.
Where we've worked.
What makes us different.
Operator credibility
We've held the roles our clients are trying to fill or fix. That means we understand the political, organizational, and operational realities — not just the theory.
No junior consultants
When you engage Schepp Consulting, you work directly with Lauren. There's no bait-and-switch to a junior team after the sales process.
Honest scoping
We'll tell you if we're not the right fit. We'd rather lose an engagement than take on work we can't deliver — or work that isn't the right solution for your problem.
Mid-market focus
We work exclusively with mid-market companies. We understand the resource constraints, the organizational dynamics, and the pace of change that's actually achievable at this scale.
