"I was on the management team in a division of Sara Lee (now Hanesbrands) which manufactured and sourced goods throughout the Americas. We turned to NLA. for an objective outsider's perspective to enhance operations, improve on-time delivery, and reduce costs. NLA's depth of analysis was incredible! Their team's skill, experience, and targeted recommendations were precisely what we needed."
